There are many good aditives. I have driven a semi all over this country and Canada. I gelled 1 time. I was told by an old timer up in Canada to use this product. He handed me "Polar Power" I never gelled again. I reccomend it and used it. The days of driving over the Road are long gone. I use it in Tractors front end loaders and other diesels.

I highly reccomend it. ( Polar Power)

leaving it plugged in all nite just draws more power. Don't think it would be so great that you would have a mortage payment but that is all.

OK

Makes sense,

I hate going out to get wood at 11 pm or 5 AM. I would then be looking for a commercial grade timer.
