If you have a gun type furnace, as most newer furnaces are now, you can burn #2. It will give you more heat, and at a cheaper price.

Gelling? Bah. If you have a basement tank, don't worry about it. IF it would be -30 when they deliver the fuel, put a trouble light under your (LEAK FREE) filter for a couple of hours and you are safe. If you have an outside tank, put a 30 gallon barrel in the basement filled from the outside tank and vented. Fuel will flow in extreme cold weather but at a rate that won't satisfy your furnace. The 30 gallon barrel will give you the cushion you need. Lay it on its side (and off of the floor). Put one bung on the bottom, one on the top. Run the fill from your outside tank to a tee in the bottom bung (the other side of the tee goes to the filter and then the furnace). The top bung is used to run 3/8" or 1/2" copper line vent to the outside HIGHER than your outside tank. Put a hook in the vent to keep the moisture out and you are set.
