I looked at my bottle of "diesel enhancer" that I brought home with tractor and noticed that it does not appear to help with gelling. I thought I'd research who makes it but cannot locate any info on the web. Since I'm in a cold temp zone I'm assuming I need to stop using this next month or supplement with some anti-gel product?

Anybody know which company makes this for Kubota?

So were do you get your fuel from? In my area all places i get mine have to switch by Nov 1st over to Winterized Diesel.
Are you storing it outside or in a garage or heated space. I keep mine in a heated garage @45 F Deg all winter and have never had a gelling issue or algae from condensation build up.
I do use Stanadyne Lubricity Formula in all fuel i buy and also only from a place that sells a lot of fuel.

Been using Powerservice for years, White and Silver bottle as the seasons predicate and Powerservice Bio-Kleen as well. I'd say with 6000 and 2500 hours respectively on both tractors and no injector issues (had the injectors pulled on the 6000 hour machine and spray tested and the spray pattern is still good), I'd say Powerservice products do the job.

B3C Fuel Solutions LLC according to the MSDS (found on Kubota USA web site BY CLICKING HERE ). Screen shot of MSDS attached below
Thanks I didn’t think about that and I’m around MSDS and GHS all day. I fill at the local Shell but it has a disclaimer that the diesel is not a Shell product. It has a big diesel turnover. Stored in Flo-Fast containers in unheated garage. I could move them to my heated garage to ensure no problems this winter.

Appreciate the comments everyone.

I personally would not take any chances on diesel fuel in the winter months. Our moderate area also switches to treated fuel by November 1st, but I don't count on it, and add an anti gel product (Power Service).
A gelled fuel system is a royal pain.

It's not the fuel in your containers that will cause you grief, it is the fuel in your tractor.

I’ll plan to add an anti-gel to my containers after November 1st. I didn’t add anything to my skid steer but then I kept it in heated garage.
