From the land of cold and wet, (NJ): I'd go with a 6 ozs. of the PowerService (White bottle for winter use) with every fill up. It's performed very well for me. The best thing though is to keep your tank topped off in cold weather. That's the best way to keep moisture from invading your fuel tank.

Leathermag, Dry-gas is nothing more than either methanol or isophrophyl (sp) alcohol. These I would think would dilute the diesel. I don't know that it would help any. Though I have read about some people putting Chevron "Techron" fuel additive in thier diesels. I stick with Power Service, which is designed for diesels.

Dry-gas is alcohol. Bad, very bad for injection pumps/injectors. Recommend using a diesel-specific additive if you are concerned about fuel quality, water, etc. Stanadyne, Redline, Powerservice, etc. RT
