The FM-9-207 "Operation and Maintenance of Ordnance Material in Cold Weather (0 to -65F)" states that "Inhibitor, icing, fuel systems" should be used at a rate of one pint/40 gallons. "Add prior to refuling" for proper mixing.

The chemical is ethylene glycol monomethyl ether.
Hmm..maybe some unwashed biodiesel does the job.

Personally, I have never used any additive (other than biodiesel). Not cold enough for any length of time here in Virginia.
Did get some Bio-kleen (sp) to use with the biodiesel, but haven't used it yet.

Note: Alcohol in diesel will change the cetane value of the fuel.
