We got about 12 so far.
We’re well over a foot now and still coming down. My tractor gelled up this morning at the end of the driveway. We got it towed up to the house and into the shop. It’s warming up now. With a little fuel bleeding I should be able to get it back in action tomorrow morning. 🤞
Thank goodness for great neighbors.

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?

No I’ll grab one tomorrow. I did get the filter cleaned. I’ve had the tractor for a long time and never had it gel up. I’ll be more careful now!

How cold did it get to gell your fuel? We never add anything and with a block heater they'll start down to 0.

Dealer filled the tractor I bought last year before I picked it up. Never had fuel gel like that before, even at 30°, changed the filters in the snow and still had issues with it. No problems this year with the fresh diesel I get now. You can put a little gas in it to help dissolve the paraffin as well. Little being the operative word.

No snow here, too cold for that. Both rides were dead this morning, to run some cords ne did put the block heater cords. Plugged in for an hour and the boost pack on them and vroom off they went.
