After experiencing a lot of smoke when starting the generator, I added Deisel Kleen to my fuel tank and in 3 or 4 hours of runtime on the generator, the smoke was gone when starting the generator. I now add 10-12 ounces of Deisell Kleen to my fuel tank on every fill-up.All these fuel additives are a waste of $$ other than anti-gel for diesels in extremely cold climates.
While they most likely won't do any harm they absolutely do nothing for you.
What makes you believe we have low quality fuel here?Unfortunately due to low quality of fuel in the USA, some additives are helpful.
Because he saw a YouTube or read it on the internet. As well as snope only says what they get paid enough to say!!!What makes you believe we have low quality fuel here?
I've been driving a vehicle of some kind since 1978 and have NEVER used any additives. I have also NEVER had any kind of negative effect from not using them.Never been on the "side of the road"
Thank you "crazy", I always like a good laugh!I've been driving a vehicle of some kind since 1978 and have NEVER used any additives. I have also NEVER had any kind of negative effect from not using them.
Some of you I'm sure remember back when leaded gasoline was being phased out and all the gear-heads were running around with their hair on fire. Telling us all our engines would be destroyed by the lack of lead in the fuel.
Well fast forward 50 years and none of it happened.
It's the same thing with the BS fuel additive companies are feeding us today.
Our fuel IS low in lubricators, the old fuel used to become very dusty on our farm machinery and now it does not. My work trucks run 40,000 per year and I only add Lucas to my bulk fuel for more lubrication. My last truck had 400 K with ZERO pump or injector issues.Well I thought I would chime in here, got nothing else to do.
Watching that video, the guy states that he doesn't use additives, But if he did he would use "Power Service"
(seems like a big statement to me)
As far as the actual fuel goes, saying the US has better or worse fuel is a matter of opinion!
The video states that in the US, ULSD has very low Sulphur (lubricity) and lower Cetane. [an additive will help with this] While in the EU they have a premium diesel with added lubricity and cetane.
In my opinion, I would rather be the simple guy that uses an additive (no matter what others say) and never have a problem, then to be the 'one' guy on the side of the road wishing he had!
As for me; I use (and carry along) Stanadyne and Power Service products.
