And some things work better than others, including additives and oils.

The diesel in cold climate areas changes seasonally to have less wax in it to gel during the winter. The only time I've needed an anti-gel additive was when the cold hit hard and early, and I still had summer fuel in the tank.

It's common for me to end up with summer blend in the winter, and vice versa.

A direct result of having a 110 gallon fuel capacity in my 3500 and not driving it often.

Never heard of using ATF. What ratio?

1 qt to 30 gallons. Good lube quality and solvent enough to keep things clean.

Maybe the main issue with ATF, as I understand it from reading quite a bit on the subject over the years, is that it doesn't really burn well.

It's also not exactly known for being a good lubricant, but more of a detergent.
