later pat,
maybe you need to double up on the anti-gel. or drive the gas rig. i forgot that chris works for a ford dealer. power/service is a good brand of anti-gel.

I had to use a telehandler to deliver a scissor lift at work this morning. It was gelled to start with so after I got it running I let it idle for a good 45 minutes. I got 50 yards out of the driveway and it gelled again. I was able to let it sit at WOT and clear up. I backed up to the drive and it did it again. Again, WOT and some time cleared it up. I put some #1 fuel in it and parked it in the shop over lunch break. After lunch I was successful. The best part was, I had to go get the scissor lift about an hour later because it wasn't what the customer wanted.

Freaking Nebraska winter anyway......I showed -17 F on the drive to work this morning.
