6.9 Going for winter storage.....
Well the ole motorhome is goin' for winter storage abit earlier this year, usually I wait for the winter diesel to come out. I just wanna know what's the best fuel additive to keep the fuel from freezing/forming water over winter? The tank will be toped up!

Thanks

Takes up a bit to much room. Another reason why I hate living near the city...

I've been told to triple dose mine with "Howe's Lubricator" for winter storage.

Is a little bit of Methyl Hydrate good to use?
