Does diesel fuel gell up in cold weather no matter if I use number 1 or 2. What additives should I use id it does. Also some gas stations don't indicate what diesel fuel type it is so are these all number 2 diesel. Thank you

Re: about diesel fuel

There are many anti gelling diesel fuel additives available, just about any parts house or station selling diesel fuel has this product, which should be a winterized blend for your area anyway.

Re: about diesel fuel

Yea, you should be fine. Unless you buy tanker loads of fuel in florida and carry it to minnesota or something. Or maybe if you have a huge farm tank and its summer fuel. I wouldn't worry about it otherwise.

Why do you ask?

Most Diesel fuel you buy is #2.
This is considered a "year round" fuel, but it will wax or gel below 0 degrees F.
For colder weather fuel companies sell a #2 blend which is thinned down to prevent waxing and gelling.

Typically you will only find #1 Diesel fuel pump marked as #1...#2 pump just advertise Diesel fuel
