"Asking for a friend". Really. We 'd like to know to gauge the amount of anti-gel additive to use without going too overboard. For now 911 cleared things up, but some days are just too cold to fool around with filters and kerosene. New machine to him, and apparently the fuel in it was from last fall or even earlier. Couple degrees below zero yesterday; 11 below this morning. No mud, though.
Odie
I don't think you can really over do it with additive. I have put 150 gallons worth into 40 gallons of fuel when I had dirty injectors without issue.
Just dump it in. But use the white jug. Not the red 911. I add the white jug every time I put fuel in my transfer tank. I don't take any chances on it being good treated fuel. I just treat it myself.
I'm running 1/2 Kero 1/2 fuel with white 911 on top of it. Red is for when you absolutely have no choice or your tanks completely gelled.
Kerosene is expensive and hard to find sometimes here. Like at the pump for heaters and such. I was in luck and was shooting the bull with a fuel hauler and he told me one fuel station that he knows of still mixes 50/50 no1 and no2 fuel. He said nobody does that anymore. They all buy cheapest fuel then add additives.
I was in Laramie, Wyoming one late night, had just come up through the valley from Ft Collins, CO and it was -45F without the wind-chill. Pulled into the fairgrounds to add some white bottle to my tank, the stuff was as thick as honey. There is a Safeway in town that has K1 at the pump so I pulled up and started to pump some into my tank when the poor attendant came out waving his hands telling me I could not do that, it's not taxed. Didn't worry too much about it, no tax man was coming out in that weather for sure, and there was no way I was letting my truck die either.
From what I'm being told they are moving away from Kero, I bought 50% fuel the other day and keep 100gal of red on hand normally. "Winterized" or cold flow is just additive dumped in, we honestly haven't had any trouble with it, what's in all my trucks now. Add .20+ to cut fuel and your going to lose your shirt, it's .035 to add cold flow 🤷♂️.
