Did you ever hear of anyone using Prist in a diesel? Prist is an additive for JetA to prevent icing. It is used anywhere outside air temps are expected to be below freezing in aircraft that utilze airframe mounted fuel filters in addition to engine mounted fuel filters. If the aircraft
utilizes only engine mounted fuel filters, then refer to flight manual for Prist requirement (usually about -28C or -20F).US Army used it all the time back when I was flying. It was easy to use. Came in a little spray can with a long tube that snapped onto fuel nozzle and shot a stream of Prist in with the fuel. Lo-flo Prist is what they called it. Designed for nozzle flow rate of 15-20 gpm. It was not really for fuel "gelling" but for ice from water in the fuel.
