Thanks to everyone for the advice on the diesel fuel additives. I live northeast of Osage, Iowa which is about 10 miles from the Minnesota border. I need some combination to keep the diesel fuel from jelling in my White 120 with the 5.9 Cummins which I use to blow snow with. The 120 was filled with about 55 gallons of 10% bio-diesel (10% soy diesel) and I had added two quarts of Power Service (white bottle) about 3 weeks ago to get ready for cold weather. It was about 15 below zero when I started it with it plugged in. I blew my yard out and headed up the road to blow out my neighbor's yard, and it gelled up and stopped. Previous posts on here pointed out that any anti-gelling additive evaporates after two weeks. I'm assuming that is what happened to me. I was looking for something to add to the fuel if the tractor had sat for more than one week. I guess what I'll do from now on is either have a complete fill of Artic fuel or try to get the tank down to 1/2 full of #2 and then fill with #1. That seems to be a sure thing with no concerns that something is going to evaporate. Thanks to all you YT guys for the advice. I will use the de-icer to clean paint brushes or something.

When dealing with thinner metals like sheet tin, a long bolt and
