Anti Gel

[BIGNASTY]

I recently switched with to this product as well as their others, but until the last couple of weeks didn't have the cold temps opportunity to have an opinion. The truck starts well (always has) it does idle smoother than with other anti gel I used, hardly smokes at all.

It's been almost a year since you posted. Are you still happy with it and where did you get it? The station i get my fuel adds anti-gel. Depending on the month the fuel is treated down to -30. I have not had any problems, but that doesn't mean there's not something better out there.

BigNasty is not on the forum anymore. So, I do not think you will get a response from Big!

Thanks.

I’ve been running diesel out of passenger car filling stations since 1997. Although I’m not in an arctic climate, I can get bit by a gel up in single digit temps. It’s never happened to me. I add stanadyne performance formula time to time, but never an anti gel.
I don’t see Schaefer products by me, but I hear its premium stuff.

I use the ULSW in the winter and CTPS through the summer.
My situation is also different than most, I have fuel delivered to the house and it can sit for 2-3 months. Even if I went back to purchasing from fuel stations I'd probably be inclined to continue its use.

I'm sorry, but I'm not on here as often as I should. I do remember BigNasty's posts.(In fact I remembering asking him if he was a Jethro BigNasty I knew from another forum. He wasn't.)

What happened?

 

[Wayne M.]

What happened? I’m not sure but I bet it wasn’t a tremendous deal. It’s real easy to get canceled anywhere nowadays.
Big sure did bring a certain element to the table here on the TDR.

And here he is, still voicing his wisdom from the "grave" (trd grave that is) What a man !!!

I believe it was his lack of tolerance for the Liberal members.

I live in Alaska and have stopped using additives since about 2010. I was having sticky injectors in my 06’s and after stopping the use of valvoline Cummins fuel injector cleaner and power services my engines ran fine and idled better. I’ve not had a single injector failure since I’ve stopped using additives. There are folks who really believe you need cleaners and additives but I am not one of them. When it comes to gelling, that’s a different story. If you have #1 available, just run that. If you can only get #2, you have no choice but to run additives. YMMV
