Re:should i be worried????
I live in KY also, I run additive year round and never have any truble with gelling... doubt I would if I didn;t use the additive. The trucking company I work for has an office here and I remember a couple of our rigs gelling every once in a while.

cfm,<br><br>I think gelling is something to consider, maybe not worry, depending on just how cold it gets where you are. The problem, as I understand it, is that small droplets of water in the fuel freeze. Our trucks have a fuel filter/water separator which it might be a good idea to drain a little now and then. We also have a fuel heater, so should not really have much of a problem, if all is working correctly.<br><br>Just to be sure, I'll add some Power Service supplement once in a while (a little more often in Winter). Heck, it removes moisture and cleans the injectors too. ;D

If you buy your fuel locally and they have a winter blend, probably not a major concern unless the normal weather pattern for your area changes drastically.<br> For my own piece of mind I add power service when it is real cold. Helps keep the injectors cleaner too!.
