We are doing some major modification to our water purification plant at work, so we have a temporary system rented from GE. We built tent structures over the trailers and heat traced the hoses. Large electric heaters blow into the tents, but with the impending cold weather, we brought in two backup diesel powered and burning heaters, one million BTUs each. Yes, badass!
I was assigned elsewhere on Monday, but when I went outside I smelled the burning diesel and thought it smelled like bio- to me it just has a sweeter, popcorn-like odor than normal fuel. I commented to a coworker how that bio gave me fits years ago in the winter, probably because I didn't know what I was doing with it. Sure enough, late Wednesday they gelled the fuel line to one of the heaters. I told them to go get a couple bottles of the Red 911- they were using heat guns on the lines. I also suggested new filters, or a bypass. Seems they got it fired back up by end of day shift according to the temps inside the tents, around 70F with -14F outside.

To top that off, you have a cup with oil in it ("why would you want to lubricate your carburetor?"). On closer examination (and some reading in a AC D-14 service manual), I found out that this is a pretty ingenious method of cleaning the air in the tractor's intake tract.
