Howes is good,I liked it because it seemed like I got better fuel mileage with it.If your fuel is partially gelled already Power Service was the only thing that would ungell it.Everything else you have to mix in before it gells.That could have changed now though.Kerosene works,so does gas,but you wont get very good fuel mileage with kerosene.A gallon of gas to 100 gallons of diesel will keep it from gelling below zero but its dangerous to mix gas and diesel,sparks can make it explode,it might need some lubricity additive like a quart of motor oil,and it hurts the mileage.I also used FPPF more than anything else because I could get it everywhere just about.As long as I put FPPF in before it gelled didnt have any trouble.I didnt run north any more than I had to either.I did go to Detroit and Minneapolis sometimes.When it would get 10 or more below zero up in Minneapolis,or anywhere else,I liked to have some kerosene in it,but it didnt cost but about 1.50 a gallon back then.Plus it didnt have a lot of power or didnt get very good fuel mileage,but it would run.
