Fergie's in ICU

   / Fergie's in ICU #181  
I've been using Stanadyne since 2006 -- it was recommended for my 2005 Jetta TDI Wagon (BEW/PD engine), so I began to use it with the LRB, adding a few ounces with each fill-up of my 5-gal diesel can. I now also use it in our 2015 MB Sprinter RV (3.0 V6).

My LRB is now at 1267 hrs...

I use Powerservice, it's what I got recommended by some long haul truckers for diesel.

Wrong! The additive is Hotshot's Secret Diesel Extreme. I had purchased a bunch of different additives/cleaners when I thought I had injector problems, and will use them all, one-at-a-time, from now on ...

Should be after the 1st of the year or so, with the amount your using it ...

If you have a "anti-gel" in your collection ... I'd start using that stuff once you regularly get below 30° ...

Yes, of course the new engine came with new injectors. : )

And yes, I will start using anti-gel shortly.

What is the recommendation for "everyday" fuel additive?
