Just back from a great trip but a warning to all diesel car drivers...we spent a week in la Tania and then on to Campitello Di Fassa in the Dolomites after a week there on to Kaprun and my friends with the J2ski trip....my warning... I filled up the car in Verona and went on to the mountains...the car was left fo a week in -10 conditions...and...it wouldnt start!! dismay and a flattened battery.. my host told me ...frozen diesel ..Verona doesnt put in the additive..anyway eventually I got it started by hand pumping the fuel through (a lot of diesels have a little pump, usually a rubber bulb, in the fuel line)...I went and bought the additive at the next service station €13...
My advice ..check at the last fill up before the mountains and buty some here before you go...STP sell it ...https://www.bullseyecarparts.co.uk/category/detail/car-maintenance/additives/diesel-additives/stp-diesel-winter-treatment-with-anti-gel I dont know how good it it is but better safe than sorry ...My host said €150 for the local garage to do it... |

Snowed yesterday in La Tania and put down a nice covering..at least it looks like a ski resort now and a beautiful day forecast.

Happy New year to all my friends on J2Ski

Just one further comment ..if you do get a French car (rather than a Swiss one) they are unlikely to have the Swiss rooad tax so dont go on Swiss auto routes
