I've never had any issues (thankfully). I was in -18 in Kansas in January 2018 and no issues then. that far north they have a winter blend that has anti gel, down here you may or may not get enough anti gel is why I mentioned it. gelled fuel is not fun at all, takes a lot longer for it to warm up and go back to liquid.

Thanks for the reminder Hop, I have some that is a few years old. Do you think is still good or should it be replaced?

I normally add about a gallon or two regular no lead to my tank in the winter at each fill up,that being said I just added the howes diesel treat today,I have been in Iowa in -17 and never had a problem,but as stated earlier we don’t get the good winter fuel down here.

Anything that goes north of Amarillo has an anti-gel additive and blended with about 20% Kerosene.

Great reminder hop. I grabbed some on the way home and plugged in the PPD for about the second time in her sweet little life.

Thanks Hoppy. I made Cabana Boy run up to the supply store and get some for both of our diesel vehicles.

What about DEF? Says it starts to freeze @ 12f. I don’t think there is any way around it, is there?
