This works great for say a truck where you buy and burn fuel in a short time and in a local area. I say this because the major diesel supplier I work for pre blends fuel so it will pump out the tank not really considering the user. If it is 0 today we blend it one way but if it is 20 tomorrow we blend it another. It sells so fast we do not have to worry about temp changes like the user does. In other words if you buy fuel for your tractor today while it is 20 it may still gel up at 0 three weeks from now. We blend #1 diesel into the #2 tank based on the temp expected the next 2 nights. If we know a cold front is comming we may cheet a little just in case so it does not gel. We also blend a different percentage if our tanks are above or below ground. Sorry to say it we are only worried about it pumping at the pump. All this info is taken from our company wide winter letter as I never have to worry about blending in my area.
