I was just wondering what were some on you blenders winter blends when your lows are constantly in the low 30's??

There is a huge amount of info here that would answer this question much more comprehensively than and single answer to your question here could produce.

If you are really interested, do some reading through the posts here so you can learn about all the factors that affect this question.

i mix 55 gallions at a time my blend consists of 29 gals of diesel fuel ,25 gals of filtered cooking oil,and 96 ozs of cetane boost,its still liquid at 10 degrees above zero,,,,,but i have a, holley hp125 gerotor fuel pump,,this pump works very well for this thick fluid,,,,happy motoring !!!!!!!

When that cold,I run 100% diesel.I don't like walking in the cold.

75% VO and 25% HHE or diesel or gas
This gets me down to the 20's

Well I'm North of you bio,tricities,and it get cold buddy.

That's not cold... below Zero F is COLD.

Low 30's...t-shirt weather...

It was -25F with the windchill Dec 21st...I was outside trying to finish putting siding, until I ran out of screws. Bit chilly...just had to go inside the shed every couple hours to warm my hands up again.

Though I bet john could way blow that away up at da' lodge, eh?

Yeah, it's been that cold without the windchill up-here at Possum Lake. There's not much between here and you except a barbed wire fence and a couple of the strands are down.

I've found that latex surgical gloves under my work gloves or mitts will significantly cut down heat loss. About half the heat loss from hands is from evaporation, and the latex gloves stop that and also provide an insulating airspace next to the skin.

I'll try that when I'm cleaning windows.I add one pint alcohol to half gallon water.

nathan I like that Idea
Ill drink a pint of Alcohol ( In the form of JACK DANIALS) and hire someone to do da windows.

How we get of the subject!

Petrol diesel is $2.13 a gal here

I dont know ? but the last time i bought a bottle of jack it was fifty bucs.
and the last time i drank it "Free" at the casino it was about $100.00 a glass.

it got down to 60 degF here near new orleans last week. brrr. y'all can keep that Jack. we perfer crown here.

I'd rather freeze than live in the murder capitol.

nathan. now dat was not nice.

Being from the great state of LA myself I can comment that only two type of persons are there.
Those with guns and tourists

I used to go to New Orleans when stationed at Biloxi,Keesler AFB.Loved it then.
Now I'm married with children,I was scared driving North of it thru La to Texas.
Funny how older,things don't wind you up.

I do not know what you drive, and every vehicle has its own tolerance level.
You are in Ga so our temps are similar. Try 75% vo and 25% rug or K #1 . I prefer K #1 but now rug is cheaper.
So far, the sample from my current container of blend is liquid and looks OK. Coolest morning has been 19 F so far. If i go out one morning and it is thickening, i'll add 1 to 10 gallons of K1. Depends on how much is in the tote.
Another thought, in the cool months never fill the vehicle above 3/4 tank. Give yourself room to add something to thin the fuel if you need to. If you need to thin the tote you also need to thin the tank.
