Why they must have run out of extension cords. What temp will winter Diesel wax up? Does the block warmer also warm the fuel system?

Why I believe that is the problem, the fuel lines gel and restricts the flow

Who would prep all those busses for -20F weather? Why not Illinois, that's for certain.

Why did we pour a half gallon of isopropyl alcohol in every tractor that left our truck terminal?

I hated to jell up in the middle of the night at below 0 and nobody for miles around, before anyone had cell phones.
