Interesting note from the Power Services web site for the product:

<table style="border-collapse: collapse;" border="0" bordercolor="#111111" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tbody><tr><td width="100%">Directions:
</td> </tr> <tr> <td width="100%">
Add Diesel Fuel Supplement +Cetane Boost as directed on the container label. Diesel Fuel Supplement should be added to the fuel at a temperature higher than the fuel’s cloud point. To ensure thorough mixing, add prior to filling tanks with diesel fuel. Store above 10ºF.

Anyone know PS has 3 types of DK now? White jug, silver, jug and now i saw a red jug with 9-1-1 on it!
They've always had those. White for winter, grey for summer, and red for oh crap my tanks full of jello. The red is emergency anti gell for those who are stuck due to gelled fuel.

Its been in the mid teens for the last few days and I havent had any problems with gelling (knock on wood). I add 8 oz of the white bottle before each fillup, which is usually 25-30 gallons.

Interesting, how do you store it above 10° and still have it in your truck to use when filling up at temps when you really need it. I'm not storing it inside, their bottles leak.

Luckily I have a reliable source of winterized fuel, I didn't need any additional additives at -17°.

Jason,

I was gonna suggest checking into locations in Minnesota that sell "Performance Gold Diesel", but it sounds like you have a winterized source. Flint Hills Refinery (largest in Minn.) makes the diesel fuel and about all the jet fuel used in Minnesota. They add Schaeffer's additives in it for winter use - so the additives are already in the fuel when you purchase it.

FYI - here is the link to the website.

Premium Diesel Fuels

They have expanded throughout the mid section of the US. Click on the availability maps on the left menu to find locations in your area.
