I've seen some discussion on various auto sites about Diesel fuel gelling in cold winter conditions. Anyone here using anti gelling fuel additives?

Anyone experience the gelling situation?

Summer fuel will gel at sub-zero temps but if you're filling your car regularly by now you have a full tank of winter fuel and really shouldn't need it. I've been driving a diesel pickup in northwestern Connecticut for many winters and the only time I had a problem was a very cold morning in early november with a tank of summer fuel. Other than that I've never actually needed it.
