: Do I need to add additives to fuel

We are suppose to be getting a cold front coming this week. A few guys at work are telling me I need to add some anti-gel to my fuel. The projected low is 5 degree. Right now I just run straight diesel with no additives. What should I be running if anything?

Thanks

Lubricity Additive is a must, every tank, year round. Fuel Stabilizer and Pour point reducer needed in cold weather climate, although 5* above is hardly 'cold' weather. Cetane additive will help power/economy a little too.

Lots of additives on the market that will do that, better to buy good stuff from a fuel shop, or truck stop than Wal-Mart or Skinny's.
