Diesel Fuel Additives

[JHMiller]

Steved, you've made 2 points and are correct on both

Hopefully all fuel has had additives added, perhaps we shouldn't be so hopeful. However due to $ probably only to the min standard but should be in there at the pump. After market additive manufacturers say do not mix with other additives or at least Stanadyne and Opti-lube (the ones I've used) do. So Steved, your correct on both points. What happens when after market products are mixed with fuel manufacturers products. Do those of you that have used additives faithfully and have had troubles can you be sure mixing the products has not been the cause of your issues. Seems the tests with no manufactures additives in the fuel has opened up more questions than were answered, how can we be sure additives mixed with fuel manufacturers additives would not completely change the out come of the tests? And what are the fuel manufactures using? I'll keep using them however, so far no issues.

I may be in the minority here but I started using the Standyne Performance and found that it did well. However, I did some experimenting with other brands and found that Howes Diesel Treat is a very good product. It has really provided a clean idle on cold starts and has decreased the amount of black smoke when I have to get on it. I don't know if this is due to cleaner injectors or if with the Standyne blend with the Cetane additive if the fuel was richer and did not combust as completely. Just some thoughts from a "rookie".

I'm 18 miles from a real additive: LSD Mexican fuel.

Don't forget to duck while you're down there fueling !!
