Oil & Fuel Diesel fuel.

[Cat_Driver]

These are the top ones


I've use all of then on various diesels and I'm down to the FPPF and redline at the moment.

I won't keep using a product if I can't FEEL the difference, and with the two I use I can definitely tell they are working. More power if I'm using the power booster formula, or a much quieter smoother engine if I'm using lubricity formula.

Best way is to try them out and find which one you like for your application.

Thats why I only used the fuel conditioner and the atf the one time.
But as I said The truck was very new to me and I didnt have much prior time with the truck to compare before and after performance. The truck almost always did what I asked until recently anyway

Wantedwolf, Yes! There is still waxing, when engines are opened, around the enjectors, doesn't stop the engine form running, but runs lousily. Talked to a friend who repairs them. Gathers around the enjectors like paint on tip of a paint gun. Sorry, I haven't worked on diesels for 15yrs. I thought waxing was a thing of the past. Chris and Greenbule use the additives mentioned in their posts, both of them own and run diesels.
Thanks Cat Driver, I'll check thoes out also.
Are you getting any of this snow? I moved the snow about 9:00am and there is enough out there to do it again.

The snow the reason im playing indoors today, the machine I was working on yesterday is parked in our newly aquired river. (were on the middle of a hill). It snowed over an inch during the night + the previous 10-12 thats melting above us now too. I get yelled at for playing in the mud worse these days then when I was a kid

Wantedwolf, After the last post. My wife called saying she is on the way home. So I went down to clear the snow again. This car pulled into our drive, I thought it to be my wife, same color car. Then behind it came gang busters. An off duty officer came home as this car backs out of his drive. Then guy came from his back yard carrying a snowboard. { they might have been picking up a friend that had come down the summit.} Just dicided to cut through his yard instead of going around. Then they thought they would outrun the cop. Not smart. When I came up for a cup of I thought I'd get this shot.

Cat Driver, One of the additives you mentioned is Red Line. Have you used Red LIne 85 plus /diesel additive? I have read, the claim " better cold weather starting". If you are useing it, have you found this to be true? Thanks Richard

1*What additive do you use?
2*Is #2 diesel good to use?Jack

1*I dump a quart of power service in my 55 gallon drum before filling it.
2*When you say #2 Are you talking about the difference between winter and summer blend diesel or are you talking about the difference betwen diesel and kerosene?

I use power service in white bottle year round[I at least like to think it helps?],but
3*a bottle will last you many,many tankfulls.
4*I use the red desil,[non tax,not for road use stuff],but believe the other is the same without dye?
5*I don't have much of a choice really,there are only 2 places that sell desil within 45 min drive[in a car,that is],so,if its low sulpher,than its low sulpher,another reason to use power service.

3*A 32 ounce bottle will treat 10 tank fulls for my BX23.
4*I get 55 gallon delivered at a time .Non taxed red off road.
On road is ths same stuff with out the red dye but with 30 to 50 cents a gallon tax on it instead.
5*There is only 1 fuel available here for engines and home furnaces so it don't matter where or who you get it from .

6*Eventually, you won't even be able to get LSD.
7*As far as I know you cannot get high sulphur fuel anymore, #1 or #2, even in heating oil.Low Sulphur Diesel (LSD) #1, #2, & HO will be phased into Ultra-Low Sulphur Diesel (ULSD).

6*I think we're closer to that than people realize.
7*Do you mean winter blend and summer blend diesel or are you talking about diesel fuel and kero?

I used the fleet one during Dec because we were getting really cold. But now its high 60's. So what can you do but wait. Welcome to Colorado. Shorts and a parka.

Do you mean winter blend and summer blend diesel or are you talking about diesel fuel and kero?

Space is limited here for a lengthy dissertation, but I assert that there is significant differences between between the fuel oils. Not sure what you mean by "summer & winter blends". #1 & #2 diesel fuels are available year around and to my knowledge are not referred to as that by the oil companies.

There are differences between #1 & #2 diesel fuels, #1 & #2 furnace oil (heating oil), kerosene, jet fuel (JP's), and other white oils. The differences are measured by flash point, auto-ignition point, Kinematic viscosity (cSt) and/or Saybolt Universal (SUS).

One of the things that has crossed my mind regarding the fuel additive subject is: If the the stuff is all that good then why don't the major fleets use it on a daily basis? Like the US Postal service, major trucking companies, railroads, and the fleet I work for which uses approximately 180 million gallons of fuel per year. Just curious.

Many large fleets do. I sell tanker loads of additive to some companies that have it delivered to their supplier so it can be mixed at the rack before delivery to their holding tanks.
