What fuel adetives do you use in the winter?

Its been getting colder here in Colorado and I was wondering if I need to use any de-gelling adetives for the fuel. Are there any that are better than others?

 

I just started using Diesel Fuel Supplement + Cetane Boost made by Power Service. http://www.powerservice.com/. I've heard good things about it and I can get it at Wal-Mart. Instead of my geting into a big long episode on it, I'll let you read about it and you can decide.

Power service has always seemed to work well for me too.

 

Cool ill have to pick some up. What temperature should I start to use it at??

 

I use Stanadyne performance formula year round.

I order mine online and get a good deal. I don't know where you could find it over there though.

 

They say you can use the stuff year round. Once it warms up again I'll run the gray bottle - Diesel Kleen.

 

Ive always used diesel kleen , grey bottle all year round here in st. Louis.

 

Our winter diesel is rated to -20˙ and the temps don't usually fall below that around here so we don't have issues with the fuel gelling very often. Lot's of guys out this way use Stanadyne and swear by it.

 

I've used power service in both my trucks every tank all year.

 

I use the Kleen-Flo additive they sell in a 3L jug at my local Navistar dealer. I use it in my Chevy... because I don't have a fuel heater, and I believe the old rotary pump benfits from the added lubricity.

I'm not planning on using it on my PSD... yet. I use a premium fuel (Husky/Mohawk 'Diesel Max') that's supposed to have some of the benefits of the additive already.

 

I'm going to try out Amsoil's diesel fuel conditioner here shortly. I will be a dealer soon and can get it for cheaper than the Stanadyne.

 

Will you ship it???

 

Yes I ship it, you just pay the tax.

 

sent you a PM

 

While I don't run an on road diesel vehicle my backhoe is diesel. Interestingly enough I have never ran any type of anti-gelling additive. Last winter I had to dig in single digits and the machine started fine. Is there any difference in the gelling of off road diesel (fuel oil) and pump stuff? I do keep my backhoe in a garage but it is unheated.

 

I don't think single digits are something to worry about, it's the below 0 degrees that start to gel diesel.
