What happens with diesel engines when you just filled it up with summer diesel and on your hunting trip it turns cold,really cold like below zero?
Mine would not run because the fuel gelled..
Diesel #2 (summer blend) has gelling point about 10F, so it would take 0F overnight to bring tank to this point (will wary with wind chill).
That got more complicated in last years as you no longer can buy 100% diesel fuel in USA and bio addition can mess up some characteristics.
Still when I was to Dakotas in -20F winter, no station would carry winter blend as there was no real demand for it.
Daily drivers with full tank will not gel overnight, so the only issue is truck park for a week that somebody would want to restart at -20F morning.
