[AT] Having battery problems--so how to fix?

[Ralph Goff]

Gas redone to match the weather? I have not heard of this. As far as I know 
we use the same gas in everything year round here in Sask. Only difference 
is the amount of tax we pay on "non farm use" gas. My old tractors and 
vehicles start year round on whatever gas is in the tank.
Of course diesel is another story. Don't even think about running a diesel 
in the depths of winter here if it has summer fuel in the tank. I usually 
buy a few gallons of winter diesel for the winter time jobs such as pushing 
snow, grain vac, etc.
