Diesel Jelly
If you carry and use a suitable additive ,then diesel fuel gelling in sub zero temps shouldn't be a problem .
Kerosene can be added to diesel to prevent gelling [up to 20% mixture] also petrol can be used in emergencies but don't go mad with it .
An emergency cure -- "Meltdown" -- is available in Canada that will unclog gelled up fuel lines ,there may be something similar in Europe.
Fuel line heaters can be fitted .
But generally speaking ,the local diesel fuel should be adequate for the climatic conditions .
A lot of the truckers around here use two stroke oil in their diesel to lubricate injectors ,this is a consequence of the low sulphur diesels we use .
