Everything diesel on the place got treated and ran before the cold with Hot Shot's treatment. No problems except for the batteries and a couple glow plugs in the farm truck. You got an extra filter to change out in case the paraffin won't liquefy in the old one?
The truck stays plugged in when not running but I treated it and the tractor to a good dose of Howe’s. At least the sun is out now but not supposed to get above freezing til Wednesday.

Supposed to be 2° tonight 😫 and windy.

My SIL is a full time firefighter for Mount Airy. He just got off shift and he couldn’t make it up the drive from the main road (We’re about a mile from the road).

Went down on the old 2001 Sportsman 400 😎 and got him. Snow is so hard frozen we didn’t leave tracks. Made it back … barely, spinning all the way.

How cold did it get to gell your fuel? We never add anything and with a block heater they'll start down to 0.
It was single digits yesterday. I plugged the tractor in for about a half hour before I went out to plow. I got it running this morning but it’s starving for fuel. Off to get a new filter after I get things cleaned up with the 4 wheeler.

I’m grateful to have fluffy snow versus the ice.

I despise ice storms…
