Anyone adding this to their fuel for the upcoming week? I've never used it before but I reckon 20 bucks on some is better than a lifetime of issues. Is it really needed here?

Here in Minnesota the pumps have blended diesel at the pumps starting in November. We do keep some diesel 911 and anti-gel to with Cetol to help with cold starts on hand for skid steer and tractor as we don’t use them much other than to move snow and do odd jobs. For 20 degrees and cooler, it’s cheap insurance. At -15 the DEF system freezes and the tank warmer can’t keep up, you begin to question living here.

I had mine gel up in Colorado a few years back. It was -17 and I had filled up with “winter blend” diesel. I used the diesel 911 and no more problems.
I lit a bag of charcoal on a sheet of metal and slid it under the truck to thaw out the lines enough to get it circulating.
That’s also the country where a whole bunch of equipment operators from south Louisiana learned to park their iron on wooden skids to keep from freezing the tracks to the ground.
