Some of the answers depend on the type &
personality of your tractor. Some start & run
fine at very cold temps, others need some
additives when it gets near freezing. On one of
mine, the tank for the tank heater is directly
below the fuel filter. This keeps the filter
warmed a bit, and it works pretty well in cold
temps on regular diesel.

You could find 5 gallons of #1 and add that.

You could buy an additive and use that (PS
Power Service is a very, very common brand
here in Minnesota, I'm sure there are others).

Keep your fuel filter up to date, as that is often
where the problems start.

Summer diesel will start to jell somewhere in
the 20's F. Depends on your tractor when you
will actually have problems.
