I live in ND it regularly gets to -40 plus windshield here I don't think it gets that cold in Detroit regularly though. There are some charts around as to at what temps you need different blends or additives but I've never seen a good one. I usually will start adding a antigelling additive around 15degrees(I use Howes or Diesel 911). When it starts getting down around 0 i'll start going to a 25% #1 blend by the time it gets to -40 I'll run 50% plus blend of #1. Keep it parked out of the wind and better yet if possible keep it inside at night. The new systems do a good job of keeping the fuel warm once its running. The biggest problem I know of is on a cold day run it down to a 1/4 or 1/8 tank then fill with fresh cold fuel out of underground storage and watch it gel. He's also going to want the winter front to help the engine warm up.
