(Mine has a dash for each degree.)<br /><br />So I guess my attempt to portray you as an Al Gore Inc. operative was in vain. Damn you liberals! Foiled again! ;-P<br /><br />Jason BjorklundAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15329279.post-9189566041873727902010-01-11T20:23:16.601-07:002010-01-11T20:23:16.601-07:00Cory,

DFA-1 (Diesel Fuel Arctic - 1 the "good stuff" the Army uses) is good down to -66F from my experience. <br /><br />It may be good at even lower temps - my thermometer died at -66F. <br /><br />#2 Diesel is what we called "hikers grade" Below -20F you'll be hiking. <br /><br />One of the gas stations in Delta Junction AK had a special blend once - about 1 quart of water per fillup. You could get about 100 yards before the engine died.<br /><br />+29F You poor thang!AK Engineerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14212732718869625585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15329279.post-78132707819850829852010-01-10T07:12:15.909-07:002010-01-10T07:12:15.909-07:00Hi A.Dakota, thanks for the reference.

Service workers don't get to hear "thank you" nearly enough, in my opinion. Those two words produce some beautiful smiles.Kelly Fullerhttp://prairiehighway.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15329279.post-15545374766777603272010-01-09T09:54:50.921-07:002010-01-09T09:54:50.921-07:00A cold snap is hard on the people who work outside...A cold snap is hard on the people who work outside?
