I've been running probably over 90% ExxonMobil diesel efficient diesel in my truck for a few years now. I believe it keeps your injectors cleaner and emission system cleaner than any other diesel on the market.
Diesel Efficient 1
Diesel Efficient 2
Diesel Efficient 3
This fuel was validated at the Southwest Research Institute in San Antonio Texas.
Ironically my car does not like this fuel. Not sure why because it is a good fuel, but my car has a noticeable vibration at idle every time I put this stuff in it. My truck doesn't care as much about fuel, but the CP4.1 and piezo injectors in my car are finicky as hell about fuel. Probably because it is tuned to run on 50 cetane fuel.
I have a few friends that work at SWR. One tests fuels and chemicals and the other does military projects and research that he can't talk about. My wife was going to work there as a chemist, but became a pharmaceutical scientist instead since it paid a lot more with better benefits.

To Devo the dog. Your post show exactly what I said about fuel gelling in extreme temps.
Maybe you should work on your reading comprehension.
