wax or paraffin balls that form in diesel fuel base at about 26 degrees? A bit of moisture and algae added then stays as soft ball at warmer temps, gets blocked by good filters. Disolves in gas?- standard for many cold weather diesel is the addition of 10% unleaded gasoline to diesel fuel for use in cold- Bosch pump lubed by engine oil recommendation but not for GM distributive lubed pumps goes up to 20% because it lowers 'wax' point much lower by keeping 'wax' from forming.

After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
