Please Don’t Forget to Treat Your Fuel!

It’s getting cold again!  

Please make sure you have treated your fuel to avoid unnecessary delays.  Depending on where fuel is purchased can effect when it will start to gel. Fuel purchased in Florida will gel up quicker than fuel purchased in MN; be aware that untreated fuel can start to cloud up and gel at any temperature below freezing (32 degrees).

There are several anti-gel additives available at truck stops. The additives in the picture should be what is available at Decker shops. Note the Penray product does 250 gallons and the Power service does 100 gallons.  Please note – with temps dropping, additional additive will need to be used and, make sure to add the additive before the fuel so that the product mixes properly. 

Professional Drivers, you need to read the instructions on whatever product is purchased so as to not undertreat or overtreat.  If you have any questions please reach out to Maintenance Support or one of our Decker shops and they will be able to assist.

THANK YOU, STAY SAFE OUT THERE!
ROD SIMON, VICE PRESIDENT OF MAINTENANCE
