Well the ERCOT story is all over the 'Net, from Bloomberg news it's a major failure of planning to put it mildly.

So, I am having to admit a critical error in preping for the winter weather... Diesel anti-gel additives for the vehicles :he

I have not needed any since 2008/09 winter. Even in 2011 & 2013 mearly using the trucks block heater was enough.

Well, we will be trying to get the Jetta started in about an 30 minutes... And then the truck after that...

FWIW diesel really starts to gel up once it crosses the ~17.5°F line.

The trucks tank is 36-odd gallons and was nearly full when parked.
That's likely a brick after the -5° night time low.... Even though it's now 18°F ...
Oops power just blacked out again...
The Jettas tank is much smaller and was only 1/2 full when we parked last night. This is gonna be interesting, for sure.

We have the block heater in the 2500 HD diesel.....we’ve only plugged it in a handful of times. dS1 thawed and started his car this evening and mr muddy drove it around the block to see how it performed (Since the roads have not been plowed inside the neighborhood) if for some reason he is not able to drive his car tomorrow am and has to drive my truck, we will see how the diesel does without plugging in🙈🙈🙈 but it’s never given us a problem before in single digit weather to the best of my knowledge.

The generator is outside and there is one extension cord running from it in to my bedroom window.
I have a thick towel covering the small crack in the window. Now I'm worried I'm getting carbon whatever poisoned.

You’re fine as long as the exhaust is outside!! Now if it was in the house and towel over window, you may have a problem
