Fuel questions

May 04, 2015, 05:28:37 pm

My custom is to fill the diesel tank just before arriving at the campground. I followed that procedure on 2 January when we arrived (finally) here in Stillwater. It looks like we will be departing (finally) on 26 May, headed for Riverton, WY. I'll fill the tank each day just before arriving at the campground. Will there be any problem with the fuel? Since it was January I put the anti-gel stuff in.

For you Wyoming people, should I put the anti-gel stuff in when I get to Riverton, or will it be summer enough by then? The travel plan (at least as of this minute) is:

26 May Stillwater, OK to Concordia, KS
27 May Concordia, KS to North Platte, NE
28 May North Platte, NE to a WY State park in the Davis area
29 May Arrive in Riverton, WY

We'll be in Riverton for about two weeks.

The reason I ask is that several years ago we tent-camped in the Tetons/Yellowstone area in July, and we got frost there.

Heck I got frost and 4 inches of snow in late June last year in Yellowstone.  I did not put in anything special as the pour point was 32 or so and it did not stay there for long.in the winter months I do put in anti gell if going south to north. You are heading up there and it can still get cold but if you fill up when you get there you will have their blend in the tank.
I would add some anti gell just for peace of mind but I doubt you will need it if you fill up when you get to WY.

24-27 degrees for several hours before any concern
