Gel Point
FWIW
Local fuel suppliers here have always mixed #2 50/50 with kero for winter. My regular guy was telling me recently that they no longer can mix due to the ultra low sulfer (apparently kero is not uls). He assured me that they had an additive that would prevent gelling to -40f. He was wrong. I filled up yesterday (added the usual power service) and should have had the sense to dump in five gallons or so of kero (red dye be damned). It is just south of 20 below this morning and, with a zillion appointments to get to today my 190 is gelled. After being plugged in for two hours it started right up, ran for 30-40 seconds and quit.
