Stanadyne Performance Formula

Anyone run this stuff in their diesels? if so, what are your opinions, thoughts, experiences, etc. with it?

 

No one? i know Power Service is cheaper and more readily available, i.e. more popular, especially at the chain stores, but Stanadyne seems to be the fuel additive of choice at most shops that deal specifically in diesels.

 

I have it in my 93, it came with it. I just stick to power service diesel kleen. Seems to be same type of stuff

 

John Deere wanted Stanadyne to package their product in JD's Green/yellow containers and Stanadyne refused to do it, so JD basically tried to "copy" it and packaged it themselves! if that's not good product endorsement i don't know what is!!

Stanadyne also does NOT contain any alcohol, lots of brands do (Power Service), and while not horrible for a diesel it's used only because it's cheap.

 

Don't use it much but when I do I use the MotorCraft stuff..

 

I use power service stuff, works for me, that and I get "Canadian Tire" money whenever I use my CC, and like every second bottle is free.

 

I've been usin 2-cycle oil past few fill ups, seems to idle smoother

 

My idle's always been smooth as silk, but I'm curious about the 2-cycle oil in the fuel.

 

I use it it is great. Several years ago it clear up a govenor issue I was having on a 6.2L. Saved me from having the pump replaced.

 

how much oil in one fuel tank? i have split i believe the front is 19gals in my 86 6.9

 

MT Highboy; where do you get it at?

( I've been running 2cycle oil in mine )

 

My local Carquest stocks it, not sure if they do nationwide but they move a lot of it here locally, was 6 bucks a bottle (16oz) for the longest time, it just recently took a jump to 9 bucks a bottle, so i now buy it by the half gallon for 20 bucks.

 

I haven't ran any 2 stroke oil in my IDI yet but I've been running the ashless stuff from walmart in my 24V for 3 years now. I run half a quart to every 30 gallons. I forget what the exact ratio was but I would think somewhere around that would work for these IDI's as well.

 

I bought 6 half gallon bottles of the Stanadyne brand stuff at once from a cheap ebay seller, it was some diesel shop. It was a bit of cash outlay at once, but I had sold a few things and had some money in my paypal account, so it was kind of like free money to use. I have a long term supply now, I use about 6 oz per tank.
