Anti Gel Additive
I was just curious if you guys that run the anti gel additives add it to every tank or every 2nd tank or what.
I forget the name of the stuff I use, but I add it every tank, and I just splash a few oz's in every tank.

I haven't put any in my tank but I always carry a bottle of de-gel. I am not sure what the difference is between antigel and de-gel. I guess I shouldn't say that because I always have the bulk driver though in a can of conditioner which is supposed to stop the fuel from gelling when he fill up my tank at the farm.

I run Schaeffer's dieseltreat during most of the year here in OK, but when I'm in South Dakota I run the dieseltreat winter blend. At @ $1.25 a tank it's alot cheaper to fill with #2 and add the additive then pay $3.60+ for #1 diesel.
