It doesn't get cold enough here to worry about diesel gelling. If you feel like you have to add something I recommend Howe's, you can get it at Atwoods.

It absolutely does get cold enough for diesel to gel in North Texas. I’ve lived here since 2002 with a diesel truck and have experienced gelling on a few occasions. I prepare for it now so it hasn’t happened in a while. Any of them will work fine. I stumbled upon SeaFoam which I happened to have in the garage in a pinch and it worked perfectly.

It definitely gets cold enough in east Texas. Most any anti gel stuff good. A lot of gas stations, especially truck stops already have in their diesel! Might check and see which ones have it in your area!

I have only had to use it once in 30 years here, that was three years ago. I just used whatever autozone had.

I have had signs of diesel gelling when we had extended cold and single digits temps in Houston. But my truck would still run, just took a bit to warm up and run better. Not worth adding any thing for those once in every 5 year occasions.

I've been in a blizzard, South Dakota. -16°. Parked overnight.
The fuel didn't gel in my truck or any body else's.

The fuel didn't gel in my truck or any body else's. The diesel up there is #1 winter blend designed not to gel. Down here its nothing but #2 as the temps generally don't get cold enough.
