A potential problem for this blend is extreme cold. Up here the diesel fuel is blended for cold temperatures during the Winter. I hypothesize that the addition of gasoline depresses the cloud point of the diesel fuel, but I don't know this for certain. I've only tested to -15 deg. F. so far. IF wax crystals were to form in the fuel, then without a heated filter there would be a problem...

Another potential problem is microbial growth, something straight gasoline does not have a problem with.

Time will tell....
