Okay. 

Right now I just buy it 5 gallons at a time.  Not going to fill up one of my tanks til I move out there.

I know the farm up the street can ordersr 70/30 mix of diesel/kerosene, is this considered a winter blend?

Should I be adding kerosene to what I buy at the pump?

I have heard of mixing kerosene with diesel to prevent jelling, afraid to do it with the kubota because of lubrication of the fuel pump and kero burns hotter, I've just been using the additive and 911 to all the diesel I buy, would be a heck of a lot cheaper to be able to just add a gallon of kero though. I think pork should test it!

Just talked with the Farmer...he says he buys either 70/30 or 60/40 mix...whichever is cheaper when he orders...all his goes in the big JD's that are high pressure systems.

I think I will try a 80/20 mix...where is my K1 can?

I just have this feeling that we are going to get hit with a heck of a lot of snow here...we are like 35 inches and normally have 80 + by now...see what happens
