   I used 99% iso-propyl alcohol as an additive for all my
 gas and diesel fuels while operating in Newfound.  Our oil
 fired furnaces for housing also used diesel so we added it
 there to prevent freezing in the lines.....
   The best cure we had was a heat-truck.  We had a couple of
 Herman-Nelson aircraft heaters mounted on the back of of a
 6 X 6. A tarp was thrown over the offender and the heat
 ducted under the tarp...That soon thawed out things. Also
 had a large generator for booster starts.... We had over 100
 pieces of snow removal equipment for the base at Stephenville
 and for the off-base roads... That was in the early 1950s.
 I learned a lot about icing in three years there. :)
