Question: What's the best additive to run in diesel

[Shieldsinc]

So I know diesel sucks these days jw what's the best additive to run in the tank

 

[Ne-max]

I like Stanadyne myself.

 

[mill1901]

I've been running Power Service Diesel Kleen, white bottle in winter for the anti-gel, the gray bottle otherwise.

 

[DBUSHLB7]

I've always run power service as well BUT I've heard great things about Optilube. Never personally tried it myself.

 

[Shieldsinc]

I've heard stanadyne was good.

I have always ran Diesel Kleen grey bottle. It works too well for me to try anything else and be disappointed. Plus I get it at wholesale if I buy a case.

As long as you don't add 2-stroke oil, atf, or veg oil you should be fine.

I use Power Services Diesel Kleen and its a great product, also like Lucas Oils Fuel System Treatment, noticed in a few test running these 2 different additives the rails, lines, and injectors stayed clean per than just fuel alone and fuel Econ went up 1-2mpg

I have run 2 stroke oil, motor oil, hydraulic oil, a mixture of the 3, power service, schaeffer's, and currently using rev-x. As long as I put something in there, I feel like I'm helping.

I've used opti lube and liked it. I'm using the f-bomb and hellfire right now and really like them,

what's wrong with 2 cycle oil as long as it meets tcw-3 ratings?

Nothing wrong with 2stoke at all!

Any good tc-w3 oil is fine i am using Klotz currently ive used amsoil,phillips 66 injecz.Also use the gray bottle in summer and the white bottle in the winter.Todays shitty low sulfer fuel doest have the luberplicity it should so 2 stoke as a supliment is a good move.

 

[OregonDMAX]

i raced 2-stroke dirt bikes my whole life and after seeing the nasty shit that comes out the exhaust i told myself i would never put that in my truck that has extremely small injector spray holes.

besides there are so many great additives specifically designed to combat the untra-low sulfur diesel, additives that have been tested by the companies that put them out.

 

[jraymer]

Life on the edge, no additive for me unless I am somewhere really cold

 

[RobsDmax]

john deere stuff here

 

[blk smoke lb7]

Tc-w3 is ashless,i run it in all 6 of my 2 stoke sleds and my truck and no black sludge here.

 

[OregonDMAX]

its not the ash, i just cant see putting thick oil in a truck that is known for problematic injectors.

but if you can run it with no problems then good :thumb:

Dp had a big thread on this a few years back, interesting results to say the least. It was supposed to be objective but who really knows? Optilube was hands down the winner, by a good margin. If I could get it in Alaska that is what I would run. The 2-stroke was not bad but not that good either, it is by no means was bad and beat out some of the other dedicated Fuel Additives...

 

[baggedLB7]

I run optilube summer blend it was high on the DP study I think number 4 out of 20 products tested and it is cheap to use.
