Even when running a blend, sometimes you get a cold snap right after some warm weather in the spring. It happened to me this spring. That is why I added the heater. I thought winter was over, added some filtered engine oil, WVO, RUG, and Diesel to the tank. The next week it snowed. Now I have the option of plugging in my fuel tank heater in addition to the normal block heater on the engine. I also added a 60 watt battery heater. The battery is in the trunk on W140s so it indirectly helps to heat the fuel tank also.
