You've got larger problems looming than starting fluid headed your
way. If you believe giving up Alaskan gasoline for jet fuel is a
solution....what about conditioning your dirty diesel fuel so it
remains thinner and cleaner than your favorite jam or jelly when
the temps tank and the fuel injectors go on strike?


Been there, done that (grew up in family freight business driving trucks).
Mine will be burning Jet A, assuming I use a diesel. Jet fuel seems to
work fine for the commercial operators here all through the winter.

Gonna start stocking up on 55 gallon drums of Prist and other
assorted diesel conditioning essentials now.... or just whimp
and limp along as a part time summer jet fuel jockey? ;-)


To be honest, my airplane will probably spend most of the winter
hangared for other reasons. Most of the places I am interested in
flying to are reachable only on floats, so aside from the possible
occasional run on skis to check on the cabin or whatever, I don't
anticipate a lot of winter flying.
