Guys you have to prepare ahead of time for these sub zero temp being experienced in Northern areas. Lack of preparation on your part and the diesel fuel supplier is not the trucks fault.JMHO

Power Service in the white bottle has always worked for me.
I am thinking of switching to Howes because it contains no solvents.
