Anti-Gel
Hi Everyone,
Regarding cold weather starting, I have found that using an "anti-gel" additive to the diesel fuel works wonders.
I use 2.4 ounces to 3 ounces of STP Diesel Fuel Anti Gel to a full tank of Diesel (20 gals).
During winter, I run the tank down to half and then fill up with diesel fuel and 1.2 - 1.5 ounces of anti-gel.
Yesterday it was -1F in Northern New Jersey and the car started like a gasoline engine (I pre-glowed 3 times before attempting to start).
Anti-Gel is great! With it, you won't even need to use the block heater unless you're in Alaska or something.
STP Diesel Fuel Anti-Gel is the best one I have ever tried. One 12oz bottle treats up to 100 gals.
Unfortunately, STP has stopped making this product and I'm down to my last two bottles which should last me through this winter.
Has anyone had any good experiences with any other anti-gel?
Please advise.
Thanks.
