"The jigs up guys.
We have done multiple tests across the country and we are seeing the pour points and cfpp's come in with a huge variance in fuels gelling temperatures. Some fuels are completely non responsive to anti-gels. Ulsd has brought a huge variable to the table. Additionally the shortage of #1 fuel adds to the problem.
If you have bulk tanks, now is the time to test for water in the tank. My otr guys are complaining about the vast amount of water they are getting on the road. This can only lead to problems. This is in addition to the lubricity and anti-oxidants being substantially lower with the new fuel.
I would suggest double treating when the severe cold hits and by all means avoid any additives that are alcohol based."
