It's been years since we've had cold like this here in Pa. and wondering what you guys in mid west use to keep skid steer and tractors from gelling up? Is mixing kerosene in with diesel fuel still good for this? I remember years ago grandpa would always mix cpl gallon of kerosene in a tank diesel fuel along with little motor oil for lubricant.
N/C Diesel fuel treatment?

We have just been using the additive like we do in the truck or semi and keeping the tractor plugged in and haven't had any trouble yet this winter. On days we don't need to move hay or drive the truck we still go out and start them and let them warm up.

Howes Diesel Treat, our tractor sits outside in SD, plug it in for a couple hours and fire it up.

I use Howes all year long. It prevents a water slick from occuring in tank during the summer. If you wait till the day before the cold.....its almost to lait. 911 product is good. Have at least 2 new extra fuel filters on hand in vehicle.

I try to use Howes every tank all year. It helps replace some of the lubrication factors lost with the ULSD since 2007. Also get about 1 mpg better, less smoke, antigel, and injector cleaner.

Howes. I live in Nebraska and most of my farmer/rancher/feedlot neighbors also use Howes in their trucks, tractors, and heavy equipment.
