it's funny that the opti-lube website links right to that same site to show that their product is #1.

Wouldn't you if you owned the company? Makes sense to me.

Oh, and I use Optilube XPD.

Innocent until proven guilty. If they don't check it in a lab and you have the explanation and receipt nothing they can do.

my tank gets stuck(dipped) 2x per year or so. the offier dips any on road diesel inthe parking lot when they show up. then they lay the stray on a chart. anything other than clear and they get their ticket book out.

sure.. you might fight it in court.. but who wants to go there?

It varies state to state and even regionally. The usual suspects around here are farm trucks, Pickups with equipment tanks, and reefer trucks.(refrigeration units can use it but the truck can't)

not so much snake oil.. it's just 'what it is' as per it's MSDS...

same with stuff like seafoam.

can make your own if you want to buy dry propanol, mineral oil, etc.. etc.. again.. as per msds...
