[QUOTE="Gearclash, post: 131517, member: 11467"] -25F is getting to the limit of what 50/50 #1/#2 can tolerate. It all depends on how cold the fuel actually gets. Stored in a heated building vs stored in unheated building vs stored outdoors are all different situations and will affect what you can get away with. A heater in the fuel system also affects what will work and what won’t. Anti waxing additives only work about so much. The straight #2 diesel I get, if treated to the maximum rate with Power Service white jug, is only safe to use down to around 0F or -5F. Below that becomes a crap shoot. Gasoline is an effective anti wax additive but don’t be using that in a newer injection system. For -25 temps I guess I would order a 50/50 blend and treat with the higher rate of Power Service.
