Fuel Additive

[TomC]

If you know you'll be in sub-freezing weather, Power Service will work fine. Otherwise, don't waste your money on fuel additives. Good Luck, TomC

One never knows about WY I have left Cheyenne when it was 60 degrees by the time I reached Elk Mountain it was 0 with 60 mph winds

In the oil patch, (Prudhoe Bay) I worked for a fuel and lube jobber, we sold 100's of cases of yellow bottle heet per month....never heard of Power Service....well I did ... but we never sold it...(drillers used on rock drills/blasting pits) to keep pneumatic drills from freezing too.
We also supported a multyitude of diesel fired multi mega-watt power plants and drill rigs... (exploration and work over...) we mixed #1 with Jet A...and added 55 gallons of clear hydraulic oil to 10k gallons cuz the fuel was so dry.... cracked ( well not really cracked...it was solvent extracted...right there in Prudhoe....back in the day we racked for 22 cents a gallon...
ps at 40 or more below....#1 will gel...

Just the plain old cheap Heet will un gel fuel I always carry a couple of bottles in the winter when traveling and have for 30 years and I used it one time in WY to save my butt

Good thing about the Heet you can pour it in a pan light it and keep your hands warm a bottle will last over a hr open flame all Northwest hunters carry a bottle or 2 on hunting trips

 I just read somewhere in my DD service manual I just got, that you can use rubbing alcohol in your fuel to keep it from gelling? Is this still the case?
