I have an outside 275 oil tank in a shed attached to the house.
I burn #2 oil in my furnace.

As the tank is exposed to outside temperature,s I treat the oil with 'Power Service Diesel Fuel Supplement' to prevent gelling. I swear by this stuff.

Last time I had an oil delivery I added the appropriate am amount the diesel supplement to the amount of oil pumped into tank.

Question.... since temps this w/e could drop below zero, could I add more diesel additive as a safety caution. Obviously, the best way to add is before an oil delivery, so not so sure if adding more at this time would actually help ?

Can you over-add diesel fuel supplement to a tank ?

Thanks.
