Do you guys with diesel gators add anything to your fuel? Such as Power Service or Marvels Mystery Oil?

I have run Power Service and some additive that I bought from John Deere. Don't normally add anything and I run ULSD and off road diesel (which around here is just dyed ULSD). Gelling is not a problem here.

Gelling is not the only reason for an additive.
Lubrication is another reason.

In the winter I add some power service and try to keep the tank full. I use the Gator a lot less in the winter and I don't want to risk water in the fuel.

Summer time I run Schaffers Soyshield to every 5th tank to help with cleaning stuff up. but it runs mostly on straight diesel out of the pump....

If you want better lubricity run outboard motor oil - 1 oz per gallon of fuel.. A lot of the guys on the diesel truck forums have been doing it for a few years (especially the dodge guys with the VP44 injector pumps)..

I run PS or Howes in the winter in both the tractor and truck..
