Being in the northern climate you will soon be into winterblend fuel, antigel added from the rack before it gets to the station. that doesn't mean that you should not use an additional AG additive depending on how bad old man winter decides to hit you. lower MPG's with winterblend are in your future.

up here in the white mountains the fuel has winter blend mixed in but we get much colder then other place as a rule and all satiations will add a little more to protect it better for our climet..we have a guy here that sells B 10 bio year round with no problems..how ever.. I add DK (white bottle) to every tank and change my fuel filter every 5000 miles in the winter..been driving diesels for over 15 years and only had one slight jelling problem and that was 50 below with out the wind chill factor...

DK is diesel klean..you can find it at any wall mart..there is 2 different bottles..white for lube and winter blend..keeps you from gelling..gray bottle lubes and adds a little more power for better fuel mileage kind of like octane boost for a gasser..no SOP power gains..

I have use both biodiesel and DK.. I find biodiesel makes the engine run alot quieter.. see the study results https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/6...study-2-a.html .. biodiesel does the best job for lubing..

What the study doesn't say is what is really the necessary amount of lubricity for our vehicles. IOW, quantifiable results from going from say 520 to 420 to 320 to 220. More is better to a point. Sometimes it may not matter. For instance, if it gives my injectors 200 miles more life, will it matter? What I want to see is them saying that the injector lasts X miles on average. As you move up the chart, you get better results to what point. There is a point of deminishing returns. What is that point, nobody has said yet.
