Diesel fuel does not "freeze" but it does start to coagulate at about 0 degrees C, and #1 diesel (kerosene) does the same @ about -20 C

Trick question?
Diesel is formulated differently for each season. That is why your mileage is not as good in the winter. A home heating fuel and diesel dealer explained the finer points to me.
