I get 50 gallons of #1 every few years, and blend my own from the #2 tank. When I forget and run out, I just rely on the White Power Service.
Here in MN I've run at 15 below for a high, tho it get pretty cranky and slow at that temp myself.....
I would be more careful if I went on the road, my stuff is around the house and cattle yard and machine shed.
The big deal seems to be a cold disel fuel filter. If that is in a warmer location on your vehicle, should work out. If the filter is hanging out in the cold air on the windy side of the tractor then you better have top notch fuel treatment.
My first couple years with the 7700 I didnt know anything about winter/ summer blends or additives..... I plugged it in and the plug in 1500 watt tank heater happens to be directly below the fuel filter, so heat rising off the tank heater warmed the filter. Blew snow for several years on #2 and no additives, but was just set up right with that tank heater warming the filter, and it wasn't the coldest years, I was only operating at 5 degrees or warmer then......
So, what works for you depends on the setup you are using. But you should be able to make it work with #2, some anti gel, and a fresh filter if you want to.
