Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
Technician B is correct because diesel fuel refiners do indeed adjust the composition of diesel fuel for colder temperatures to prevent issues like gelling. Most OEMs do not specifically recommend aftermarket diesel fuel conditioners; instead, they often suggest using winter-grade fuel or following specific winter operation guidelines.
