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.

 

every other tank i use DK white bottle until this time of year..now we are going to be getting well bellow 0 here soon and be staying there for next 3 or 4 weeks..so i will be adding it to every fill up....i never run under a 1/2 tank..so i will add just for that every fill up..i already changed out my 3000 mile old fuel filter for a new one yesterday and dug out my bottle of 911.... this will be my first winter with my in tank kit...not sure how the baldwin filter will do beeing down under the truck..i swapped that one out yesterday as well..

 

Good to know that Im not the only one throwing it in every tank!

 

i have done this to my PSD and the tractor trailer trucks i drive for quite a few years..only once i have froze up..it was 45 bellow on the temp..55 bellow with the wind chill..she did good in town..but i got on the big road and 5 miles later at 70 mph she froze up..dumped in the 911..let her idle for about 15 minutes and we were off again....we dont see that low very often..mostly -30 to -35 on the temp

 

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.

 

Ron, I thought the white bottle has the gelling agent, and the gray does not. I use .5 oz per gal of the gray bottle down here.

 

yes that is right..white for winter...i use the gray in the summer untill december..

 

I was just making sure I am using the right one.

 

i also use DK white in winter and DK grey in summer not a problem yet.

 

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.
