I keep two tanks, one with number one diesel for startups and shutdowns.

Smart idea! Might have to try that.
I’m in northern Michigan, got some snow too.
Not to sound dumb, but when did you last change the fuel filters?

Good question.

Just last month when I did the oil change.

Hmm, odd.
I’ve driven 7.3s from Florida to Alaska for 20 years and never had to deal with this. How cold was it?

It wasn’t super cold, but both my tanks leak. Front tank leaks when almost full, rear tank leaks around three-quarters full. I think water got in with the rain this week, probably froze in the fuel.

That makes sense. Water in the tanks could also lead to algae. Power Service has a biocide that works well for this. Small bottle, doesn’t take much to treat it. Worth having.

Good tip, thanks!
@Mai
I’d start using anti-gel full time just to be safe.
@Mai
You should probably fix those leaks sooner rather than later.
