After all the debates on here this year regarding LSD vs ULSD vs BioDiesel and the gelling issues etc, I am a bit concerned. I use my tractor to clear my drive and depend on it to start by 6:00 a.m. which is typically the coldest part of the day. A few days ago, the morning after our first snow, it was 2 degrees F beow zero when I walked out to start the tractor. I had little fuel left in the tank so I carried out 10 gallons or fresh ULSD that I treated with a double dose of Power Service white. 4 seconds of glow plugs and th tractor started right up like it was summer. Well, maybe a cool summer day. The new fuel added to the tank was cheating some since it came from the warmer garage. But the fuel that was in the tank and filter was fine. Not the best test but at least it passed the first test of the season.
I plan to stick with the ULSD for winter use, and use Bio 2 or 5 the rest of the year for it's lube qualities. CIH reccomemends NOT using bio in the winter according to my operators manual.
