Forgive me for being ignorant here, but here in Florida we just had a week of the very coldest temperatures I have seen in my 20 years of living here. It was in the low 20's at night and I had a quarter inch of ice on my truck each morning.
We also get the 10% corn juice in our gas here too. Does Ethanol gas cause hard starting when it is really cold like that? It took probably 5 or 6 seconds to get my truck started when it was cold in the morning like that, but in the afternoons it started up just fine in a split second like normal. Does Ethanol cause some kind of condensation in the fuel lines that makes it hard to start your truck/car? I checked my battery, it's fine, 12.6 volts with engine off, 13.9 with engine running.
Normal temps for us this time of year are mid to high 70's in the day and maybe upper 50's at night. Today it was 72 and sunny. I never had any trouble starting my truck before, but I have never seen it this cold here either.
Thanks for any info.
