	*~~"Gel point is the~~ temperature at which diesel or biodiesel fuel freezes solid and can no longer flow by gravity or be pumped through fuel lines.

	For the fuel to become pumpable again, it needs to be brought above the gel point temperature to the ~~Ungel~~ point, which is typically near its pour point.
