[AT] Best way to prevent diesel gel

[Paul Waugh]

They make additives for this. Diesel Kleen is one. Yeah it cost $15 to treat 
250 gallons.  I have pulled camper in temperatures of -25. I have had some 
problems at these temps, but Diesel Kleen 911 will even that out a frozen 
system to some degree at that temp.  For the money, I find it very cheap 
insurance ... that I don't have to get out in the cold :))
