Winter-Diesel question

During the winter, I heard that diesel fuel will gel up or something to that extent. Is this true? So what would you do to solve the problem, add in just a little bit of gasoline in it to avoid this from happening?

RE: Winter-Diesel question

Stations will stitch to #1 (winter) diesel when the weather becomes cold.

 No additives are necessary unless you have summer diesel in your tank.
