Good thoughts on fuel.
Your truck will run fine on whatever is at the pumps. Canada and US. And fuel is treated for the expected weather in the geographical area.
IE you shouldn’t have to add anything to fuel bought due to temps.
However, if you fill up in Vancouver and somehow make it to -30 deg weather it may not be treated enough.
Added security. This is the one time I’d say add some antigel treatment at each tank just to be safe, once you get into cold country. And carry a bottle of 911 in the event you should happen to gel up. And don’t buy any greater than B5 bio diesel if given the option.
Again, everyone up there drives their diesels around all winter. You shouldn’t expect any issues. Only recommend the extra measures because hampering a cross continent trip due to some silly old fuel from bfe northern BC is a very small chance of happening but not worth risking with family in tow, extreme cold and a schedule to make.
