COLD

jeffcat · Jan 5, 2014

Man I heard on the radio that Minnesota will go down to something like -35 or even -40 degrees. YIPE Last night coming home from work in Atlantic City the temp was 13* in the city and on the way in Mullica it was -2*. At my house it was 0*. This is why I love the Interstate Optima batterys. They crank right up with no problem. Now the lowest I have had was only -8* but there are other folks out there who know.

We have not been below zero since Feb. 2011. Tomorrow's forecast is -14, or -15. Here West of Indianapolis. I get off of work at 3:30am. OUCH! I drive a 2005 Chev. Dsl. I hope it starts; but wont know till its too late! I don't think its been this cold since I bought it new, & it now has 180,000 on it.

Mine started at those temps without being plugged in but if I know its gonna be cold I use treatment.

Up here where it gets that cold we see a lot of semis and other diesels on the side of the road, jelled up.

Hope you got a good blend of fuel and or additives in before the co.d came. It won't mix well after it is below 10 degrees, you need it in ahead of time.

You will want to plug it in overnight if possible.

When I had my diesel FedEx Home Delivery truck, we did not get much snow, but it sure got cold! Would have been winter of 2004-2005-so before the new low sulfur diesel! I had my truck running and deliveries started when the office called. How are you running on such a cold day? Told them I had filled up with #1 and was using additive! Never was told how many, but must have been several trucks not running right that day!
