mike: There is only one product to prevent diesel fuel from gelling, and that is methyl hydrate. In all those expensive diesel fuel additives, the one component that prevents gelling is methyl hydrate. Furthermore, no matter what manufacturer you buy it from or in what form, the methyl hydrate will evaporate in a week or so. All the so called conditioners your ever need are in good diesel fuel, purchased from a reputable supplier. These products are just a money grab.

The only time to add methyl hydrate is at tractor refueling. If you are burning a tankfull evey few day it will work fine. If tractor is parked for a week or more you will need to add more methyl hydrate.

Save your money, get a gallon of methyl hydrate. Go to farm store it will be about $7.00 per gallon. Drug stores sell same thing for about half. Drugists sometimes get a bit testy about your use of all this alcohol. By the way, methyl hydrate will work as a lock deicer and is what is used in your whindshield washer liquid to prevent freezing. Same gallon jug can beef up your windshield washer, or thaw your locks.
