Stanadyne sources?

[WBusa]

I've read enough now about Stanadyne fuel additive to want me some. Trouble is, the dealers they list on their web site are all obscure injection shops far from my home (20 mi. north of Pittsburgh). Aren't there any chain stores that carry this stuff? I was looking for it in Pep Boys today... no go.

Stanadyne

I would check at your local implement dealer.

I get mine from Diesel Injection Service out of Texas mail order. Buy it by the case. Shipping is not to bad. Do a TDR search and you will find a lot of other sources.

If you have a John Deere or C-IH dealer near you, they carry it. May have Deere or C-IH on the bottle, but it's the same stuff.



Lucas and Howes work great also.

I did find a competing product at our local Napa -- "Diesel Fuel Supplement + Cetane Boost", by Power Service Products (www.powerservice.com). Sounds like it provides all the same bennies as Stanadyne, the price is right, and like I say, its available at Napa. Guy there says they sell a ton of it. Anyone out there have any opinions re: this product vs. Stanadyne?

WBusa,

You may want to go over to the 3 Gen. , Engine and Transmission, site. There are two threads that may be of interest to You. On page one, You will find a thread entitled "States to Delay Diesel Lubrication Standards". Then, on page three, You will find a thread entitled "poll: Do You Use a Fuel Additive ('03's only). Don't worry about the "('03's only)". A lot of the information applies to all of us. Some of this is good reading.

The main thing, so far as I can tell, is that the additive does NOT use alcohol as an emulsifier (for elimination of water).

Hope this helps. Joe F. (Buffalo)



PS: Not to flame Power Service but, I have heard that it is a highly diluted product that has more diesel fuel/Kerosene in it, and not too much of the stuff You really want. Some of the additives seem to be much more concentrated. With PS, most of what You are buying is what You already have in the tank, diesel fuel.

That's what I get, they ship very quickly too.

Blue Ridge Diesel Injjection is running a internet special and it is cheaper by the case than I got it from Diesel Injection Service over a year ago. Don't know what they charge for shipping.



I am not connected with anyone, just always looking for the best price. OK, I am cheap and I need to get some soon. Anyone else have a cheap... . er..... inexpensive source.

Thanks for all the input, folks. After reading all the threads on fuel additives I decided to go with Stanadyne rather than the more readily available Power Service, though I don't (yet) have a really strong opinion in this regard. I bought a case of one-shots from http://www.fueladditivesonline.com. Decent price, good service, fast shipping. Given the unanswered questions imposed by the continuing switch to low-sulfur fuel, I think I will make additive a regular part of my fueling routine. I intend to keep this truck in good shape till it qualifies as a 'historic vehicle'.

I just found a new product from Gold Eagle. This is the company that makes the HEET products for gas engines. From their website, they have a new product line for diesel applications. www.goldeagle.com

Just another product to look into. I don't have but one day of testing. It did seem to have less smoke on start up, but I don't seem to function that well below 0 degrees.

i dont know if all cummins dealers are the same or if you have one near by but thats where i buy mine from.

I also order from Scheide Diesel - fast service, and as long as you order a case then shipping doesn't cost much more than sales tax would if bought local. If you're going with Stanadyne, check out their Lubricity formula. I didn't see any mpg or power differences with the Performance formula, and I really just wanted the lubricity for my injection pump anyway. The Lubricity formula is about half the price per treated gallon, so it is competitive with the least expensive additives you can find, and probably adds significantly more lubricity than most. (The stanadyne web site has independent lab test numbers for those who want technical details, and you will find data for many of the competing products, too. )
