So this happened about 1000 miles in so thats about 2 tanks?. I picked it up Dec 23 and had gone through two tanks in that time. I find it hard to believe that by the end of december, early January we don't have diesel fuel at our pumps. I also go to a Hess station usually that has high turn over with a lot of truck filling up there as well.

I never had this happen with my 335 or jetta.

Audi said they put an additive in the fuel when they had it. I asked the service advisor what it was and where I could get it and he said it's an audi product that they have. So i said, well how i can i prevent it if it gets that cold again? Can I put my own additive if the fuel gells? they told me no. So what are we to do in case this happens or to prevent it? Now that the northeast is getting cold again, i'm getting a bit worried that one day it'll do this again.
