Iowa, the one w/o 'taters
I've pushed my luck for several years without problem. Saturday night I had to park outside. I had #2, 5% bio w/ Power Service. The temp Sunday a.m. was about -8F. The truck wasn't plugged in but started fine. When the high idle kicked she died and that was about it. I could restart it for a few seconds, but it would die soon after.

I pulled it into the shed (unheated). Today, after being -15F over night, I pulled the fuel filter and dumped the goo. After putting 1/3 powersirvice 911, and 2/3 #1 on the filter and reinstalling I was good to go.

Oh well.
 
worst case scenario is to hang til i can pension out and then relocate south then. best case is find a job with comparable benefits and equal pay on a fd. just gotta keep my options open.
