Well I have not used Powers Services or Howes in years. I switched to JD winter fuel treatment 10 years ago or so. At the time it was a cost move. I can buy the JD in five gallon pails during the Open house parts discount. I use it at the rate of I qt. per hundred. NO other blends or treatments. My cost is about 5 cents per gallon and I do not have the power loss from the K-1. Blending K-1 costs about 10-15 cents per gallon around here and you have power loss.
David I would bet that you do not have a gel problem but a water one. 15 degrees usually is not low enough for a gel issue unless your running biodiesel.
I start treating the fuel barrels on Nov. 1st. and add it to all equipment when I check the antifreeze for winter.
I have not had a tractor or truck gel in all of that time. The last winter I had blended fuel and used Powers treatment I had terrible issues with it. Semis freezing up out on the road and tractors dying half way through chores.
I now treat the fuel as the tanker delivers it. I also have a double water/fuel filter setup on the supply tank. I drain the water separators every Monday morning. Use an electric heat gun to thaw it if needed.

As a kid he worked part time on a farm in Kansas doing many of the manual chores. Some of the more successful farmers of that day had a new time saving device called a tractor. It increased the farm productivity and, in general, made life easier because more work could be done with this 'mechanical beast'. My dad dreamed that some day he would have his own tractor with every implement he could get. When he rea
