Wood ahchohol is a good drying agent for gasoline(the main ingredient in Heet gas dryer) and though I am not a fuel chemist, I would not use it in diesel fuel. Diesel fuel gelling is a completely different phenomenon. I has to do with wax components in the fuel separating out at low temperatures and has nothing to do with water. The only way to deal with this problem is with fuel treatments that lower the wax point or by keeping the fuel warm. It"s a problem with Jet A fuel ( and others) used in turbine powered aircraft and most aircraft engines use fuel heating to prevent it. I wouldn"t put anything in diesel fuel that isn"t recommended by the manuafacturer or by folks who design and build diesel fuel systems. I mix #1 and # 2 diesel for winter use on the ranch and have had no problems with fuel gelling. I have a hard time starting below 5F but that"s not due to fuel gelling. The Thermostart starting aid is supposedly only good to ~5F, so I need to get the block heater installed!!
