    How cold are we talking about for separation of that wax? I've seen it hit -15 in indiana with the diesel in above ground tanks and not had any issues come spring.

    Up north, they already have the anti-gel additive in it in the tanks. Otherwise at -15 it will gel.

    Correct, possibly.. but not across the board.

    Last winter my rig shut down 2 miles from the house with +5degF, I had to walk home at 4:30 in the morning, with wind! (I was headed to work). I had to wait for the truck to thaw out (+34degF) 3 days later, I swapped out both fuel filters and started using winter additive with each tank fill.

    Mind you, were talking SWVA, "down here" he hardly EVER see temps like that!


    IT SUCKED!
