You’re spot on about the frustrations. I always keep my tank topped off in the winter to avoid condensation, and I never skip adding the anti-gel additive. That little step has saved me from needing a tow more times than I can count.

Last winter taught me a tough lesson. My fuel turned to solid ice, and I spent half the day using a hairdryer to thaw it out. Now, as soon as I feel that first frost, I’m all over my fuel care.
