I volunteer at a local rail road museum and the caboose I am working in has an oil stove which is fueled with diesel fuel. I tried to start it today with temperatures around 10 degrees and couldn't get fuel into the stove. There maybe something else going on but my first thought was the diesel fuel has gelled. I don't know what fuel is in the tank already or when it last got put in. We have a couple of days above freezing coming up next week so if it is gelled fuel the problem should go away for a couple of days until the cold returns and I will know that is the problem. My question is if it's actually gelled fuel it looks like I could add kerosene and keep it from happening again, how much kerosene is usually added to a gallon of diesel to prevent gelling? It probably won't matter if I have too much kerosene but I have limited space in the tank so I'm hoping I can add enough.
