There is a readily available prevention for clouding (gelling). Put some kerosene in it. I use about 16% (5 gal per 30 gal tank) and I'm good to 25 below. "Winter blend" around here is a sorry excuse. Rule of thumb: If you cannot smell the kerosene, your winter blend is useless.

That the DPF uses fuel to burn off the trapped graphite (and make CO2) is evidence they are the work of the devil.
