Interesting post Dave. I experienced something similar yesterday. We were planning to leave tomorrow so i went up to grab the coach yesterday to bring it home to load up, etc. I had went to top off my fuel earlier in the week and added Power Service at the recommended rate and ran my generator back from the truck stop (maybe 15 minutes max). Yesterday I pulled out of the shop, fired up generator just fine and went to drain my waste tank and had to futz around getting into the dump site so maybe 20 minutes and generator started acting like it was running out of fuel and then died.

Went back up there today after it had sat inside at 60ish degrees overnight and it would sputter and smoke but not really fire. My gut thought it would fire right off after warming up a bit but I was wrong. Took it to a friends shed where my favorite mechanic will stop by on his way home to see what's up and also to fix my diesel Aquahot while it's there and we're just going to use a hotel on this trip tomorrow.

What has me stumped if it was gelling is that I would have thought 15 minutes or so would have drawn plenty of treated fuel, but maybe not? I also had a thought that at about 7 degrees yesterday MAYBE with the 50 mile an hour wind from my fan blowing right past that filter she gelled anyway as I only treated it to be down to zero degrees and not a double dose. If that was in fact the case it sounds like a heated filter as described above would be the ticket regardless.

Truth be told I was more than a little nervous about heading out with the only Aquahot being run by my generator/electric and I'm going to just chalk this up it having been either a bad idea or a little warning to get as Bill would call it my belt and suspenders with having two ways to heat at damned near zero vs. heading off hoping all goes well with I thought was up to now a perfectly functioning belt with my electric side only.
