I did some searching and didn't really find anything specific to the new Passats. I'm sure it's all fairly similar but I'm pretty nervous about the gelling and I don't want to be left stranded.
Some questions...
At what temperature does the Gelling start to Occur? I know this is dependent on the blend as we are transitioning to winter so that brings me to another question, Is there a way to tell if a station is pumping the winter Blend?
Once on the Winter blend what temp is the raw fuel safe from gelling?
I am planning on taking my car up to the mountains for skiing fairly often where temps can be sub zero at times but generally near zero to 15 degrees at the coldest. Will I need to be sure to treat my fuel in this sitaution?
When using the fuel addititve is the VW brand (or stuff parts sells) the best? Is it harmful at all to our fuel system if used often?
how much Fuel additive needs to be used? Not sure how it's sold or sizes :shrug:
