Default Turbine in Winter

Hello

I have a question for everybody, but specially for our "Nordics" friends:

What kind of methods,tricks, or solution do you have for winter flying,
for starting turbines with gas??

Actually i don't have to much problems, a "shake" [>:] on the model when the turbine is on ignition phase is
enough to get the gas out of the tank, but for the colder time i'm thinking some methods to get
the propane/butane mix out of the tank, and before i put some in service i was wondering, how the others do...

My mix is 70/30 There are others, Better mix for colder time?? or what do you do?!???

Thanks

Alessio
