Michael: I guess I form the ranks of farmers who use nothing in diesel fuel. I have one exception, I do use methal hydrate in real cold weather. Back in the early days when the auto and lube stores thought it was a miracle and charged $8. to $10. per gallon, you could buy it at the local drug store for $2.98. 1/2 cup to 100 gals of diesel or gasoline will beat any -15 to -40 weather. The beauty of the methal hydrate is its multi uses; lock deicer, strengthen your windshield washer, spray on rear and side windows, de-ice airplanes, air brakes, etc. I always carry a gallon, plus a plunger type spray gun, in my vehicles. It must be kept in a sealed container as it will evaporate. This is of course why your windshield washer often freezes, the methal hydrate in it has evaporated.
