#2 diesel is the best summer fuel. But it can start gelling below about 25f or so, and will below 15f.
#1 diesel costs more, has less btu, and is �drier� so is harder on a diesel in summer weather. but it won�t gel down to 60 below.
Blends of the two will work at different temps, probably 1/3 #1 will get you through winter fine.
Or you can add the recommended amount of anti-gel additive to your #2 and be good to below zero. At minus 10 or lower even the additives have difficulty keeping #2 flowing smoothly. You need to be on top of things all the way around that cold....
A new clean fuel filter helps in any case.
I would -not- depend on any fuel supplier to have it right for you automatically.... the additives or the #1 cost more, so they won�t try to be ahead of the game early..... my coop delivers what you order, #2 is going to be #2 it won�t be blended. And so on.
The trick is, you need the blend or additives in your tank and circulating through your filter and engine -before- it gets that cold. You need to be ahead of the game.
