I buy my diesel from a high volume dealer. All diesel operators in my area of NE had trouble with ULSD gelling last winter with fuel direct from the distributor. The general feeling from all was that the additive "mix" direct from the distributors was insufficient for our area. I had gelling problems when temperatures went into the low teens or lower until I added Power Service ("double load" as recommended on the label). I was ranting and raving about ULSD gelling
all last winter on TBN. I never had problems with gelling with old formulations of diesel which I purchased from the same dealer in the past until the introduction of ULSD. I believe that I do need an additive for winter use. I am unwilling to "trust" the fuel being reformulated for this coming winter due to what happened to me last winter. I had good luck with Power Service (White Bottle) so I intend to stick with it (I also have PS left over from last year.). Jay
