All diesel fuel gels when it gets that low.. Those losers forgot to cut it with some kero.. Even if it is a winter blend a little kero will lower the gel point

I agree, they just don't know what they are doing. Transportation workers in that type of climate should be well prepared to deal with events like that.

The "treehuggers" just want to use the gelling as an excuse to push them towards natural gas or propane buses.

No, the real treehuggers would be pushing for them to run those buses on all that leftover pizza and french fry grease from the school kitchens! Now you want to talk about cold weather and gelling fuel...... !!!!

That's why I used "treehuggers" in quotes.

I found this part interesting...:

"Environmental Protection Agency officials say there is nothing wrong with the
fuel. But it may have to be treated with special additives. Or engine warmers -- equipment that keeps the engine warm, usually using electricity --may have to be used, they said." oh no! not engine warmers!!

If ULSD is supposed to reduce emissions, yet you MAY need a block heater, doesn't the emissions savings become canceled out when you plug that block heater in? that power likely comes from a power station that burns COAL.
yeah, we're reducing emissions....
