Well I have not used Powers Services or Howes in years. I switched to JD winter fuel treatment 10 years ago or so. At the time it was a cost move. I can buy the JD in five gallon pails during the Open house parts discount. I use it at the rate of I qt. per hundred. NO other blends or treatments. My cost is about 5 cents per gallon and I do not have the power loss from the K-1. Blending K-1 costs about 10-15 cents per gallon around here and you have power loss.
David I would bet that you do not have a gel problem but a water one. 15 degrees usually is not low enough for a gel issue unless your running biodiesel.
I start treating the fuel barrels on Nov. 1st. and add it to all equipment when I check the antifreeze for winter.
I have not had a tractor or truck gel in all of that time. The last winter I had blended fuel and used Powers treatment I had terrible issues with it. Semis freezing up out on the road and tractors dying half way through chores.
I now treat the fuel as the tanker delivers it. I also have a double water/fuel filter setup on the supply tank. I drain the water separators every Monday morning. Use an electric heat gun to thaw it if needed.

Today's Featured Article - Restoring a John Deere 2010 Diesel Tractor - by Jim Nielsen. Following seven years working in California's Silicon Valley, my wife, baby son and I moved back to Australia to retire. We bought a small 'farm' of about 50 acres near Bendigo, in the state of Victoria. I soon found that it would be very useful to have a tractor around the place for things such as grading our long drive and brush-hogging the fields. I was also embarking on planting 1000 eucalyptus trees, and hence I would need a ripper, small disk plow, sprayer etc. to get these things accompli
