From what I've read - the idea of using #1 for less gelling no longer works like it used to. Not since it became ultra-low sulfur. I've been using #2 oil for three winters along with Power Service "whiter bottle" additive. Zero problems but I don't use my diesels when it's much below zero F.

The chemistry of diesel #1 and #2 has changed a lot. So have the ways to treat it from waxing up or forming ice crystals.

I know plenty of people who drive their diesel trucks with pump fuel and do fine. I think one trick is to park the truck inside a garage. Once started it recirculates the fuel and helps to stop it from waxing up. Leaving any diesel outside in temps 20 below F or colder is asking for trouble.
