Half your problem will be from your own use with only a few gallon in the tank you are allowing a lot of condensation to build up water in the tank. You would be better off with keeping it full. It runs just the same on the top half as the bottom half and no walking home for fuel. Also keeps the tank from condensing moisture in the tank. I would just fill the tank with winter fuel and change filters after it is run for an hour or so and go on with life. All this nonsnse about gelling and fooling around with snake oil and patent medicines, is just that. Fuel is blended for the are it is used in. I never had a problem in 20 years of over the road trucking with gelling. And didn't treat fuel nor carry any with me. Even would shut the truck off at night. Did that in Montpelier ID one night woke up to -28 started right up with no problems. Idid let it idle for about an hour before leaving. I think that was the coldest I know of that I was in out west in the winter. I also didn't fuel up in a southern state then drive north without adding fuel as I went north in winter either. Fuel in FL then Fill again in TN then fill up in OH or close to home. Would come in with full tanks 300 Gallon on.

While this may have been the bread and butter of the belt work in the past (since this is what made the money on many farms), the smaller tasks may have been and still can be its real claim to fame. The thresher would bring in the harvest (and income) once a y
