Re: Frozen gas lines?! What is there to do?

E-20 should be fine for 99% of vehicles on the road. Even though the alcohol helps absorb the moisture, there is still moisture in the system and it can freeze once temperatures drop to the -40º range.

I understand the point about 5W30, but 10W30 PAO synthetic will still pour/pump more easily than 5W-anything mineral oil. Halfway between Hayward and Prentice gets fairly chilly at times, and the old Astro cranks and fires easily no matter what our Mother throws at us. I've had a much harder time starting the old snowblower than the van, and it's on Mobil1 as well.
