[Vwdiesel] Diesel Jell Temp? --- ( you do not like Jelling ? )

[Gerry Wolfe]

Owner manual says you can use up to 25% gasoline (regular, NOT high-test!)
which will eliminate gelling.
That's gotta be bad for lubricity of the pump, tho.

Alternatively, diesel conditioners (such as Stanadyne or PowerFlo) will
eliminate gelling and will increase lubricity as well.

Gerry in Nanaimo BC (35cm of snow received over the last week has melted
overnight... it's gonna be 10C today... heavy rain warnings).

Folks,
       It's so cold you can't bounce a dead cat outside.
It's 12 degrees Fahrenheit down here right now in old Virginee.
The feels like temp is 2 Fahrenheit's..
I know this sounds pretty weak to ya'll
up in the land of the pale blue snow
where it's 99 below.
Thanks in advance for your suggestions.
Mike

IMHO .    You hit the right forum  ----and James Hansen   is your man.

12 F ?    balmy   balmy    James go around rolling up his sleeves.     He
sayes its cold  , when
he has to break the flames off the candles at night.

Give us all the details about type and year of car.   Jell temps are all
over the map.
I test  a bottle in freezer from every load of fuel.     If it jells at 12 F
?    you are lucky you
are getting good fuel----   lots of parraffin..

Hagar.

PS :    I will trade fuel with you any time.----we get dogpiss up here. In
the old days
we had fuel go like vaseline  at about 10 F, (good old fuel days)
