couple of questions here on gelling fuel...

what temp does it start to gel at w/o additives?

what happens when it's under pressure (less than 15psi) and it reaches that temp?

does the gel point temp move when under pressure?

 

In my 2006 owners book it said I can use #2 down to to 20 degrees. So I take it to mean that any thing below that temp you should use a 50/50 milx with #1.

I saw on TV the other day that in NE that the school buses had gelled fuel and it was said that the cause was the new ULSD as it will gel at around 20 and that the old LSD would not gel until some where closer to zero. I don't know if its true or not that is what they said on TV.

 

OK, thanks Charles, that is great info!!!

 

20f is when LSDdiesel will cloud up.
When diesel get's cloudyit will get kinda waxy and can clog your fuel filter.
At temps around 5 to 0 LSD will be at full gel.
20f is when ULSD diesel will gel up.

This is what I learned when I worked for fuel station.
I don't know it to be exact
The owner of the station told us this to tell customer's when they asked about fuel additives .

 

Man at first I thought you were going ask....


"Are you gellin?"

God I hate those stupid commercials.

 

sounds like one ofmy next mods should be good to go then... Thanks!

 

What mod is that ??

Does adding Drew's Brew prevent gelling ??

 

Yes, the White bottle PSDbrew does. I've been using it and driving in temps to -25 and no problems.

 

I did some lookin and I found that B100 or strait Biodiesel will gell at 32f and cloud at 20f
B20 Biodiesel or 20% Biodiesel will cloudand gel upabout the same as ULSD

 

Im soo glad Im not Gelling.


Mayfair. you Gelling?



Yeah the USLD will definatlet Gel quicker.
