Should an additive be used in the fuel to keep it from clogging the fuel system?

Diesel Fuel Characteristics and use
The time proven remedy is to add a gallon of kerosene for each 10 to 20 gallons of fuel to the tank, then allow it to sit long enough for the kerosene to diffuse into the fuel. In weather below -20 degrees F, one gallon of kerosene for 10 gallons of fuel will keep things moving, but fuel economy will be reduced. Kerosene now has red dye which a DOT inspector will assume is off-road diesel. Be prepared for a hassle if you are checked. See similar questions...

Why do I need STP® Gas Treatment or STP® Fuel Injector & Carburetor Treatment?

STP® - Fuel Additive FAQs

Do I need to use a fuel additive in my diesel?

Wentland Diesel Service - Frequently Asked Questions
Diesel fuel quality is declining throughout the world, and we expect the trend to continue. In fact, a recent survey suggests that 70% of diesel fuel sold at service stations does not meet the SAE standard for diesel fuel lubricity. The three leading factors are: - crude oil sources, - refining techniques, and - blending techniques. See similar questions...

Why is Residuumsol: Fuel Oil Additive to be added before transferring fresh fuel to the tank?

Fuel Saving Additive
It is advised that Residuumsol: Fuel Oil Additive be added to the main storage tank just before fresh fuel is transferred to it because the agitation caused by the transfer of the fuel to the tank is enough for the additive to get homogenously mixed in the fuel oil. See similar questions...

Can Biodiesel be used as a fuel lubricity additive?

Biodiesel - Community Fuels - Makes Sense
Testing has confirmed that biodiesel can provide sufficient levels of fuel lubricity, even at blend levels below 1%, in current on-road diesel fuel. Testing is underway to determine specific blend levels that would be required in ultra-low sulfur diesel fuel (15 ppm). Replenishing the loss lubricity that will be apparent in future diesel fuel can be accomplished with conventional lubricity additives either on the market today or in the process of being formulated.
