I have always mixed a little bit of kerosene in my 06 cat during the winter months to not gel up. I have a 16 prostar with a Cummin now. What is recommended for these newer engines? Kerosene is all I have ever used. I have gelled up with power service and howes in the past.

part of my article where i researched fuel additives...

Kerosene is sometimes used to keep diesel from gelling and/or is used to circumvent paying fuel taxes. This is in fact true, but it is very abrasive and causes excess wear, especially to the fuel system components. It actually isn't bad as a 'Roll your own' anti-gel product if it is first mixed with a good ash-less 2-cycle engine oil mixed at 128:1, to make it less abrasive. Some of the anti-gel products on the truck stop shelves are nothing more than this anyways.
