Diesel Aid - Any member using this additive?

[creekbend]

Two days ago, I dropped by my Kubota Dealer for a few supplies. The manager of the Parts Dept. showed me a bottle of "Diesel Aid" and highly recommended this product. I had never heard of this additive until then. Are any of you currently using this product? I would greatly appreciate any comments. Thanks. BTW, I picked up an 8 ounce bottle. The cost was $8.95 + tax. Diesel Aid: Diesel Fuel Treatment - E-Zoil Products, Inc.

He highly recommends it because he makes money selling it. Some salesman sold him on it and now he has to move it off the shelves.

Thanks for your reply. It seems that I will be taking the 8 ounce bottle that I bought back and receive credit.

Pull a before and after UOA and then show me how it works..Many dealers have no clue too. They pimp what they get for free or reduce contracts.
