The purpose of having the gasser is to drive it in the winter.
Wimp! :-)
I drive my SD year round. Without a block heater. In Iowa. With 310k
miles on it. It has failed to start exactly twice--once parked
outside in Wisconsin at 20 below, and once parked outside in
Northeastern Maine at similar temps. In the first case, the problem
was fuel gelling; in the second, tight valves. I understand ULSD gels
at a higher temp than the old formulation diesel, so I run anti-gel
during the real cold weather now, and get a valve adjustment late
every fall. With those precautions, and that fancy garage of yours,
I'd think you'd be all set. On the other hand, I regularly drive
multi-thousand mile trips in mine, which keeps the carbon at bay.
Once ran a can of diesel purge through it, and it ran just as fine
and clean as if it were burning diesel. Have decided I don't need to
do that again.
