Number 2 diesel is the same fuel used for home heating and engines. Number 1 diesel is more commonly called kerosene and when used in unvented heating it is called K 1. Modern fuel will only gel if extreme cold temps are occurring, near or below zero. A poster below said that water would settle to the bottom and freeze but that is only partially true as condensation will form as tiny droplets and float in the fuel and then plug your filters. Using a good fuel additive with antigeling properties is a good idea and of course buy good fuel and keep your fuel tank full also helps. A 50-50 blend of number 2 fuel and kerosene will flow even below zero.I farm where the temp goes below zero many time a year and I seldom have trouble with fuel gelling.
