Because diesel is hygroscopic which also adds to the problem. Take a clear container and leave it outside and see how fast it gets cloudy and thick when the temps start dropping.If the gas stations winterize the diesel fuel, why do you need anything else done to it?

You may be fine if you live in a moderate climate, but up north it isn't worth the risk. Try it, you'll see.
Like I mentioned above gel your fuel a few times and you'll just carry the bottle in cold months.
