My kerosene tank is frozen again so no heat. I have to deal with this bullshit every single time it is 0 degrees out

People here in Virginia really freak out about the cold.  Yes it’s the south but not even the Deep South.

WTF is a poop knife? 🧐

Salty you should put your tank in a small shed with some heat . Summer project so it doesn’t cut into your skiing time.

There's also a fuel stabilizer used in diesel engines that can be added to the tank to prevent jelling of the fuel. I add it to my JD tractor every winter and to my extra fuel jugs.

I saw some additive that can be added to a already frozen fuel supply. Ask at NAPA.

Good LUCK...

@saltyant  more ideas..  An electric blanket?

Next time fill your tank with diesel fuel which should (this time of year) have the anti-jelling additives. Much more expensive, but sure beats not having any heat. OR add the stabilizer at every kerosene fill up.

Do you get the kero delivered?

Kero has a way lower gel temp than diesel.  years ago when diesel didnt have anti gel additives, truck drivers used to put kero in with diesel to help this.  Add enough, and you could get flames to shoot out the pipes.

Sounds like Salty has a condensation issue? Maybe some water in the lines freezing up?

Thanks, we dealt with this all winter last year and I put in diesel 911 but it didnt resolve the problem. One plumber says the pipe must be moved higher since it's in the ground which will cost $2-$3 grand while another says that's not the problem. 

I can try an electric blanket next. We had kerosene delivered and filled the tank in the spring so moisture wouldn't build, so that was useless since it happens every single time it gets to 0 and then I have to pay a company $500.

When I move I am NOT dealing with kerosene anymore.
