NW Illinois Stephenson county | Many years ago I had a coffee can partially filled with summer diesel fuel on a bench in my machine shed (why I don't remember). One very cold day I was looking for something on the bench and saw the fuel in the can was like jelly. I thought some snow must have drifted into the can. A month or two later I noticed the fuel in the can was fluid. This visually confirmed to me that diesel does gel in the cold. My fuel supplier blends the fuel with No.1 in the winter. I use CEN-PE-CO POWER FLO KLENZ year round. It will keep No. 2 fuel from gelling if my fuel tank is filled late in the fall and I have not used enough when it gets cold to have room to put some No.1 in. Blended fuel will still start a little better, but I don't have to worry about it. Plus using CEN-PE-CO POWER FLO KLENZ the smoke from the tractor smells like smoke and not like diesel smoke. This is from using a JD 4020 and 4320 every day when I milked cows. |
