Where have you been buying your fuel. If you have a Hess station near you I would try them. I believe Hess does add additives to the fuel. We have had some real cold nights up here lately and I've had no problems. I always fuel at Hess and use stanadyne pf.

The winter blend in NY by requirement should be good to minus 10 degrees below zero. I would look for a different station as JohnnyH said to find your fuel.

DC/STAR recommend Stanadyne Performance Formula for these trucks. After two injector failures, they even put it on my INVOICE in writing! So, your Service Writer didn't know what they were talking about. I believe the PF has a pour point of -60 degrees. You might want to give it a try.
