long and short: what's the best stuff to use to prevent fuel gelling?? I would think the fuel dealer (Shell) would add anti-gel to the fuel when buying....
Was a GREAT (read: THICK sarcasm...) DAY!!
-Headed to 1st day on NEW job after being out of work for 1.5yrs.
-was GOING to be 20 minutes early....
-ended up 1 hr 10 min late!!
-spent a total of 2 hrs in the car this AM and it was 5 degrees out!! talk about almost frostbite!!!
-tow driver NEVER showed up...
-Wife had to come 'rescue' me after being up ALL night in the ER (she was sick...)
-by the time she drove me the 20 min there, and 20 min back to the car...it was GONE. (The tow company picked up the WRONG silver Jetta...)
- The wife spent ALL day (remember, no sleep...) trying to track down the car and get it home...
- Got it home, added some powerservice, and let it run for 15 minutes.... took it for a ride 1.5 miles from home, and it DIED AGAIN JUST @ the entrance to the on ramp to the highway... and the "NICE" cop allowed us to SIT in the car (our STONE COLD, non-running car, that is ) AFTER he got there, for an EXTRA 50 minutes... (Was there for 30 prior to his arrival ) THANKS BUDDY. (was JUST above zero...
SO... fuel gelling waxing...(what it seems like... VERY common around the AREA as of the past day or two...) What should I use??
Thanks for letting me rant...was NOT a good day.
