SNOW IN DIESEL TANK!! HELP!!!

I used to run 150 gal. tank on back of pickup for refueling tractors in field. Those tanks were always a problem as you got condensation but never heat like tractor tank creating evaporation. I always told my guys, fuel tractors after pickup has been parked for a few hours and always take tractor to the pickup. Ocasionally I would park pickup on hill so drain was low. Next morning I would drain off moisture.

Water has to settle in fuel before you can drain it off. I rather doubt you have enough moisture in that tank to give immediate problems any how as long as you add the alcohol.

People do tend to over react when fuel and other caps are left off, exhaust systems left uncovered, etc. I would almost guarentee if nothing above deflects a stream into opening, you will never get enough over night to cause any problem. Air currents over open hole like those I mentioned tend to deflect rain or snow.

Go the the local truck stop and pick up some anti-gell/fuel dryer. It is a common problem for truckers to have water in the fuel. BTW. Even with the cap off you didn't get much snow in the tank. Been there done that, tractor is still running with no ill affects.
