Lot of guys like to run it in Winter. I guess it's not gonna kill the engine, but it's mostly not necessary.
Gelling is the main issue in Winter. Used to be able to buy #1 and #2 Diesel, not sure it's still available, or if it's just put in the tanks without disclosure during Winter months. #1 being the choice for Winter. My days or running in real cold weather ended about 30yrs ago, so I'm not up on it anymore.
Plain ol' kerosene will solve gelling problems, or judicial amounts of unleaded gasoline (just make sure it's burnt off by the time the weather warms up)
Gasoline is real risky, because it can increase volatility to the point of preignition, which can damage the engine. I never thought it was even usable, until I worked for a trucking company out in CO that used the stuff. I was certain the heads were gonna come thru the hood :D They didn't, and the fuel never gelled even in sub zero weather. Live and learn I guess. The dood that owned the company instructed us to NEVER add more than 10% gasoline. Was his truck, his rules. I never felt comfortable adding ANY gasoline, but it seemed to work. I DO NOT RECOMMEND GASOLINE, JUST THOUGHT IT WAS AN INTERESTING THING I ENCOUNTERED WHEN I WAS STILL A YOUNG MAN.
