JW> Does your propane tank ever gel in extreme cold?

Not yet. The secret is simple plug the vehicle in, keep the air clean, and
it will not let you down. I use 10-30 Amsoil in my car.

JW> Perhaps you keep your car in a garage to prevent this from
JW> happening? 

Nope never had a garage I could ever use, besides in the interest of safety
one is advised NOT to park in a garage, if there is a leak seeing that
propane is heavier than the ambient air, it sinks to the floor and if there
is a stray spark then boom.

JW> I'm sure Dawson Creek hits -38 once in a while!

The coldest I have seen in recent times here is -57C with out a windchill. 
And my vehicle started just fine, ran like a top when others were not
running at all.  This was one of my straight propane vehicles, 1985 Dodge
pick-up.

Here is a break down of what I have had that was propane powered:

1981 Ford Granada 4 cyl, Factory propane, approx. 100 made. Impco.
1985 Dodge P/U 8 cyl after market. Impco.                         
1984 Pontiac Parisenne V8 dual fuel after market. Vialle.         

Hope this helps.  Keep us posted.

We are a fine board trying to make it better.
