I know I saw a thread of some sort that this got mentioned in. Who runs it and do you like it?

Do you mean Power Service Diesel fuel additive? I have used it and I think it will keep your injectors alive a lot longer.

If the power service is what you mean allot of guys here use it. Grey bottle for warm weather white bottle for winter. I usually run stanadyne bit I also keep the power service on hand as a backup and i like to switch it up sometimes.

Just joking but you better read your title again. It it says diesel power. Nothing about fuel additive.

2 Stroke Oil is better overall

I'll occasionally use white bottle if the temps hold a steady -5 or colder for long durations.

There are definitely better fuel additives on the market. Not saying Power Service is terrible, we use it at work for our frac fleet(Both red and white bottles), but for my truck, I choose Opti-Lube products.

There were a few independent studies done on the Opti-lube line, and it out performed all other currently available fuel additives.

Looks like the same bottle and formula that is in the Ford PMO 22 amd 23 fuel additives? Hmmm.

1 ounce per gallon. Also use the ashless TCW3 certified 2 stroke oil like the Walmart Supertech brand.

If anyone wants really quiet injectors use B20 Diesel Fuel.

Plenty of tests done show Power Service is essentially junk in regards to lubricity and cetane boost. As an anti-gel it works well.

Diesel Power may or may not work, but it's pricey.

2 stroke oil is dirt cheap and shown to work great for lubricity and increase MPG.

Just my $.02
