they put an addative in diesel oil to stop it freezing now

kerosene?

no idea

If you mean home heating oil (which is a form of kerosene) then it will stay fluid in pipes down to at least -30 degrees C. It is used in the USA and Canada where temperatures fall much lower than here.

Jet-A is jet fuel and is classed as a kerosene fuel, which is somewhere between the gasoline and diesel fractions when distilling crude oil. It's used in aircraft that regularly fly above 35,000 feet above sea level since the actual freezing point of the fuel is -47C. It usually is used with an automatic injection (point of sale) of anti-icing chemical called Prist which simply keeps ice crystals formed from free water in the fuel from freezing in the fuel lines and fuel controller to each engine...
