My wife stopped at our local service station to fill up our 04 Chevy D/A. When the guy went to run the diesel pump, (yes no self service in New Jersey) it was frozen. I am guessing that they have a good bit of water in the tanks or could this just be the cold weather gelling the fuel? The station did just get new underground tanks and pumps about 8 months ago.

Unwinterized diesel forms a wax/parifin at low temps thus not allowing it to flow. Most good fuel distributors sell winterized fuel in winterhttp://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Big Smile.gif I'd look around and make sure to change your filter frequently if you stay with that distributor. If they changed tanks recently it is more unlikely that you have ground water in the tank cause the big changeout was forced by the epa to prevent groundwater contamination.
