  Since winter fuel is a blend of #1 and #2 diesel, the addition of #1 
wouldn't seem to qualify as "crappy" in my book.  To maintain the 
same cetane rating with less parafin takes better quality fuel actually.  
The problem is that it DOES lubricate less.  However I've never heard 
of a pump failure from running winter fuel.  I've been told by a pump 
shop that running straight #1 that you'll wear out the vanes in the 
primary pump though.
