I doubt you’ll need it in VA. I got an ICEY in my pre filter on my 603 in 5 degrees and it ran after 3 min of cranking it. They put antigel in the diesel in winter blend.

That's true, it doesn't get insanely cold here.

I have never used it. I cannot remember ever having trouble. I have seen folks get frozen water in their gas lines before.....a little alcohol in the tank will actually move through the fuel to the frozen part in minutes and thaw it out. Sort of magical.

It gets -30 C fairly often here ever since I was a kid the winter driving rule and still is never let fuel tank get below 1/2 empty gas or diesel. We've never had any fuel freezing problems. Not so if the rule is not followed.

Never a problem with gelling even in a Chicago winter (recent and warmer than it used to be). More important for the SD with mechanical injection pump is good glow system, fresh battery and synthetic oil.

Project Farm is unbiased as it gets, he purchases the item's with his own money (patreon support etc).
Nothing is given to him, hot shot is just simply all around the best.
