07 Chevy Gelling Up

[MR SMOOTH]

I have a 07 Chevy Diesel it will gell up at 15 degrees above zero unless I have double strength power service antigell in it when I pull the filter off it looks to be straight diesel pouring out? Is it really gellin My first deisel not happy. A friend told me he heard of a vent problem with the fuel cap? I have pretty much bought my fuel at a fast fuel moving truck stop.

Common problem with diesel fuel, big business in after market cold flow improvers. Carry an extra filter and replace the frozen one and try the product shown below to get rid of the problem.

 

 

As the temperature drops, the wax naturally found in diesel fuel begins to form crystals. The point at which wax crystals form is known as the cloud point. These wax crystals eventually clog the fuel filter and starve the engine of fuel or prevent it from starting. While low-quality fuels may form wax crystals in temperatures as warm as 40°F (4°C), most fuels have a cloud point near 32°F (0°C).

 

One traditional solution to cold-weather problems in diesel engines is the use of #1 diesel fuel, which is diesel fuel diluted with kerosene. While #1 diesel fuel has an advantage in low temperature operability, there are also several disadvantages. The energy content of #1 diesel fuel is about 95 percent of #2 diesel fuel, resulting in reduced fuel economy and less horsepower. In addition, the kerosene used in #1 diesel fuel provides less lubrication for the fuel pump and fuel distributor, increasing the likelihood for wear on these critical components.

That cant be normal 15 degrees above zero with 8 oz power service gelling up???? That dont seem right, Is there any service bulletins out for problems like this?? Is the Amsoil like 911

 

Thanks for any help
