News here says lots of school bus operators are having problems with fuel
gelling in the fuel filters because of low-sulphur fuel. They can't get
enough kerosene for some reason. What's in the big containers of diesel
additives I've seen for sale at truck stops? Kerosene? Other? Not suitable
for educational (school bus) use?
Do they use block heaters? Additives?
Kerosene should be added at the fuel distribution point - it
is here.
They may not have the mix right - around here, it's about
18/22%.
This is the first year I haven't had a gel problem - I'm using
the Ford diesel fuel additive as opposed to the Lucas additive
I used to use in the winter. Seems to work better.
When I used to manage a fleet of buses we used some anti-gelling agent
called Aronol. It worked great. We ordered it in 55 gallon drums.
