Put an occasional can of Heet in the tank. Gas line freeze up is caused, as I'm sure you know, by condensation in the gas tank. Heet is just alcohol (Methanol, I think) that will mix with the water and make it combustible. Of course, none of that helps if the gas lines are frozen. As, again, I'm sure you know.

Aren't vehicles fun?

I just bought the truck from a guy who said it was parked for about a year, and, not thinking about the condensation, I just put another 5 gallons of gas in it to try to get it running.

It just didn’t occur to me to add gas line antifreeze because it was still pretty warm out.

Won’t make that mistake again. If I ever get it running that is.

“Aren’t vehicles fun?”

Well, they can be.

I just built a garage to restore an 84 Corvette I just bought as well. Unfortunately, I can’t get the car in the garage because it isn’t running and I don’t have enough ‘hands’ to push it in, so, it’s going to sit in the snow for a while until I can convince my son-in-laws to come over and help.

Oh, well.
