BoostnBenz, don't know where you are but here's what we do up here, where it gets cold and the temperatures can swing real fast. Keep in mind that it's the fuel lines and filters that rule the day when it's cold. #2 to about +10F, then blend with #1. 50/50 ratio by 0F, then it's straight #1. The temps here can drop 10F per hour in the hours surrounding sunrise, so we play it conservative. #1 is cheaper than Kerosine here. You may not be able to get #1, so Kerosine is the only option. I use PowerService for the lubricants, and diesels should have a mechanical water separator. Remember, "winterized fuel" is either a blend of #2/#1 or #2 with additives, and you have to rely on somebody else to get it right. I've seen "winterized fuel" refuse to pump at the station and have also seen trucks freeze at the pump with this stuff, so I choose to rely on me and do my own mixing. If the fuel's good then glow the snot out of it and take your one chance to start. I've glowed ThermoKing engines (60hp Volvo) up to 5 minutes in -30F and the've started (synthetic oil). Keep the starter spinning up to about 10sec after the engine fires and it should keep going.
