I would take the 'good' fuel off the top and then the contaminated fuel I would put into drums and use it to start brush piles on fire. BUT for sure DO NOT dump it on your property or anyone elses for that matter.
When you refill your slip tank, add Power Service in the white bottle in the amounts specified on the bottle and forget about it.
Does North Carolina even have seasonal diesel?

I don't know if it's seasonal or not to say, a true winter diesel, but I would think they have some kind of winter additives put in. It does get cold enough to justify that. But as a prepper deciding which one to store for long-term use has always been a difficult decision. In gas as well. All depends on what season you go to use it and who knows that one.

You can use 'winter diesel' in the summer, but it is a crap shoot whether or not you will gel up in winter using 'summer diesel'.

Sounds like a safer bet to store winter diesel then. I can always add some additive to give it some extra boost since it's not as a powerful I hear.
