Winter Diesel
(Preview)
Just a query for those who know. I fill my Diesel tanks in Qld which obviously does not need winter diesel. Do I need an additive added if I still have the Qld diesel in my tanks when in the winter areas. I don't want my diesel waxing up.

Hot water
(Preview)
I have a Living Edge van now 2 and a half years old and with the onset of winter I had to wait till midday when things warmed up to get hot water. I removed the tempering valve from under the van so that hot water runs from the heater to the tap. Any thoughts on this ?

Glue

Does anyone know what glue definitely sticks well to the plastic used in the plastic wafer type diesel heater tanks? I have tested Armourflex and several silicon types but they all peel straight off when dry. Cheers, John.
