I ended up with summer diesel in my tractors this fall, didn’t quite go as planned.
In Minnesota we run 20% bio in summer, 5% in winter.
I was getting it used up and cleared out with Power Service, but then this cold snap hit. Waiting for the heat wave of this weekend to get the 2tractors running again....
The furnace is oil furnace, I was running low and don’t want to call the fleas out in below zero and snowing weather, so I get a few gallons from the fuel tank. It has winter formulation and a light amount of PS in it. It came out gloppy, really something to see that stuff in its gelled form. Had to set the can in the basement a few hours before I could pour it.
Got some diesel from the Holiday service station to have another 5 gallons around, it flowed good. The next day I saw they had bags on the diesel pumps, got too cold for them.
Really need a good blend of #1 for these types of temps. No getting around it. It was flirting with minus 30 here a couple days.
