The problem is, it tends to gel when it gets cold, and clogs the engine.

And that sir is why it is best to go with a 2 tank system with inline heaters .
You start with dino-diesel and switch to fry oil and when shutting down you switch back far a minet or so to clear out the fry-oil .

haha, I know it says that in the guide, but that's a little bit of an investment. Money, time, and convenience.

I would say just switch to biodiesel during the warm season, depending on how long that is.

Or attach a tank heater.

Or, use an additive to bring the gelpoint lower than freezing.
