I've worked in WY and traveled extensively through MT. Very familiar. In fact, that is exactly where I plan to revisit. Of course Winter #1 is best for polar regions. Not available everywhere, but yeah. For my money, I will use the Hot Shot winterizer. I do like PS Dieselkeen for summer, but PS...
I ran the thermometer along the flex tubing and it was in the 160's F at the block and 170's at the governor. Probably would go higher with warmer ambient temps and engine load.
