Who is excited for snow season? Not us! We're depressed due to lack of snow.

Does untreated fuel "ungel" when it warms up again?

;-)

Yes it will!

I went through this last year when the temps here hit -37C here and my diesel gelled. I managed to get the tractor into my shop after using a product called Diesel 911. With the wood stove going the diesel eventually all turned back to liquid. I believe the fuel has to get up to 10C before it will liquify again. I was using fuel from a bulk container that was treated (obviously not enough) and that fuel was good to -25C and I continued to use it after the temps warmed up again.

I had the fuel filter out of the tractor when the fuel gelled and took it into the warm shop. I was amazed at how the fuel had gelled to the filter but after leaving in the shop for a few hours, next to the wood stove, the fuel all turned to liquid again.

Looks like we have lake snow predicted over the weekend

Almost 5" wet heavy snow and still raining Kubota will get good work out.

Some of the things I enjoy during the winter, camp fire in the middle of the forest at night, very hard to top that and also did some trapping, prime fur right now.

I mentioned earlier in this thread, or another, that we get so little snow that a lot of times schools will close with the threat of weather. Here is a real example. The district posted this first thing yesterday morning.

That's Martin Luther King Jr. day.

That's Martin Luther King Jr. day.

Oh. I didn't think about that. Good call.

I don't get off for that day so it didn't even register.

I had a previous tractor gel up the filter and it never did melt but I suspect it might have been the bio diesel that gelled up. I also never took the filter inside I threw it out on the ground. The fuel in my tank did work out OK.

Fuel will "unjell" but if it has precipitated out with paraffin particles it may need to get up above 50F. Many times a filter will not clear out enough even when warmed up.

Just got in from clearing 4 -10 inches (depending on snow drift) Been raining since early morning so it was like wet cement. Didn't even bother with snowblower. All bucket work. Soaked to underwear, so warming up by fire...
Now its snowing AND raining...good grief

The forecast for the 2" to 4" snowfall last night, turned out to be 9" of wet snow. Fun morning so far. Always enjoy operating equipment, even if I get a little wet from being snowed on.
