For those that didnt find any anti gel treatment check your gas stations. I am seeing some still on the shelves there as well as anti freeze which is gone just about everywhere else as well.

I have seen it happen too often to trust the fuel. Last time it got me personally was in El Reno last year at 14 degrees. I also had it happen to us in North Dakota in 2009 with their so called winter blend while pumping a cement job. Thank god it was just a bulk truck and not the pump.

I don't have a diesel, but thought I remember hearing somebody say that rubbing alcohol will do in a pinch. Is that a bad idea?

I put stanadyne all weather in mine Friday evening. Went to the store yesterday about 10am and just fired it up about 20 mins ago to let it run awhile, it didn' like the crank but ran fine. We will see in the am.

Power Service white bottle is what I just put in mine and told my son to put a little in his truck. Like mentioned the red bottle is after the fact. Read the ingredients on these additives....no alcohol

I’m at wallymart right now. Had the engine block heater plugged in all night and the thing fired up like it was 80 degrees. First time I have ever needed it and was impressed!

Have seen 2 trucks spewing steam from under the hoods like crazy. I assume they over filled thier antifreeze.
