Oil & Fuel Off road vs. regular diesel...

[LMTC]

Bird,
We've used Stabil. PRI outperforms it dramatically. I have had gas eqpmnt stored two years with gas in it (with PRI-G), starts like fresh. Since using it the past 8 years or so, we have not had a single fuel injector problem on two trucks, three cars, and more tractors than I can count. Shared it with the small shop that does our vehicle work some years ago....he uses/recommends it for keeping injectors clean.

A crude form of oil-eating microbes similar to algae are much more common than most know. Frequently a problem in transmissions...they thrive in a tractor that sits, and their waste product will clog filters. I am convinced this is the problem in most tractors we buy from Japan that have clogged trans/hyd filters....everyone has the same greyish lint-like "stuff" clogging it. I have never seen it in a tractor used regularly. Anyway....we use a microbicide/algaecide regularly too.

I may have to try the PRI. Is it something I'm likely to find in the local stores, or do you have to order it?

Don't know about local stores..we have bought for years from a fellow named Andy in Rogue River, OR, who runs this business:

Found it there, got straight info from him about this and some battery thingees (PowerPulse), so we just keep buying there.

It was Wildlife and Fisheries (I think) here in Louisiana. They will often check all the coolers coming as you drive from fishing in the gulf--too small fish--there goes your fish, and your boat, and your fishing gear--sometimes your truck too. No one keeps anything even close to the size limit.
