Winterizing

I just purchased my first deisel.....1995 F250 7.3 PS. I intend on storing it for the winter and wondered if there is anything special to do. I have checked the coolant and it is good to -30 which would be sufficient. As I have done with my old 1976 F150 I intend on running it periodically through the winter. I have heard there is a possibility of fungus growth in the fuel tank but I can hardly imagine that happening in -20 or -30 temperatures. Comments or is there anything else I should do??

I would suggest using Diesel Kleen addititive (white bottle,no gelling).It works great for me .I`m not a doctor though

Give it an oil change just before you put it away. One of the cigerette lighter sollar chargers isn't a bad idea either.
