did yesterday,,,was 34 below at my place,Yankton sd said it was 28. Put in some ungeller that I got from walmart earlier and got er goin again. Shoulda done it before. Jus wanna thank god for block heaters on those kinda days

 

I gelled - twice.. Once in Colorado in 32 degree weather, and once REAL bad in Wyoming in -10 weather.
Howes has fixed that, however the engine doesn't sound as smooth...I'm going to try mixing in some lubricity additive and see if it sounds better. Hopefully it doesn't fight with the Howes that's already in there though

 

i gelled yesterday for the first time in my life. ran like crap all day. maybe because of the -30 temps but it only took 5 minutes to start. i love 4 cylinder diesels

 

-8* in pa and although it cranked a little hard it fired right up and purred like a kitten and as soon as i get my 4 inch staight pipe from luke i hope it roars like a lion but no gelling here
hope i dont jinx myself

 

I was. Completely looked past it thinking that there was NO WAY that I could possibly be gelled up. Ran a bottle of 911 through and am double dosing the white jug of Power Service. Has been fine the last 2 days.

 

I have been gelled up for two days, and know of a powerstroke and cummins at work that gelled up, justy got it started about 5 min ago.

 

I've been fortunate not to gel up. I run PS and that's it. Last time I was home which was right after new years it hit -20 at the house and -30 at the farm......although she cranked slow she fired right up. I didn't have it plugged in either (fell asleep when it was above 0) I ran some stuff that was called Polar Express too and a lot of farmers in my area run it regularly and swear by it.

 

Anybody ever had their fuel FREEZE?

 

just last week my buddy drives a 10 skid international and he froze up once in MD fixed it with 911 then next morn back at home and they put additives in. all 3 other trucks had no prob so far my truck seems to be starting just fine with no problems at all was around 3 to 5 deg. sat morn.

 

Now that the temp has warmed up here to 32-50, my truck has been sounding rough...probably need to dilute the additive that's in there, it doesn't need the extra cold protection/cetane...it doesn't sound as nice and smooth as it did before.

If it stays warm I'm going to stop using Howes and I plan on switching to Stanadyne's Lubricity formula. Found a local dealer here that sells the stuff. Once summer rolls around, then I'm going to try the 2-stroke when I know for sure I won't gel up.
