The trend I see here is people that live in warm weather climates don't see a need for additives. People in cold weather climates use additivates.
Dealing with gelled up fuel sucks and it only takes once to always use an additive to prevent it. I also want all the lubricity I can since low sulpher diesel has little to none.
Has anyone really opened their injectors or injection pump to confirm all the claims of not needing an additive.
I use the Ford Powerstroke additive in everything, since I buy it in bulk anyways. Never a problem in weather as low as 30 below.
