Redline Diesel Fuel Catalyst?
I just put a full bottle in one of the tanks and then filled up. Will see if I see any difference in performance and fuel injector noise levels. Have any of you tried this stuff? I figured why not give it a try.

Oh, you're correct without a doubt. I'm betting that it will enhance the life of your injectors specifically, but everything else slightly overall also. Just don't be surprised if you can't actively sense the difference. That's what I was trying to say in my earlier post, but I don't think I communicated that idea very clearly.

I've used several bottles of it. Always filling up both tanks with it in it and have never noticed any difference.

I use Power Service Diesel Kleen, the silver bottle, and it seems to work very well. Redline makes good stuff so I imagine it can't be bad. There was also a guy at the pump the other day and he was using Stanadyne Performance Formula diesel additive and said it makes a huge difference in his Dmax's performace... Who knows...

I ran the Power Service white bottle till it ran out. I've tried the wally world 2 stroke oil (1 oz to each gallon). I'm now on redline and so on. I ran Stanadyne years ago in a TDI as well. I just moved to South Florida a few months back and have become concerned with water in the fuel, algae in the tank and the ever present low lubrication qualities of ULSD.
At the local Chevron pump they sell on and off road diesel right next to each other. I'm not taking any chances with the fuzz but it does look tempting to raise the sulfur level and hence add some lubricicity to the mix.
What's the best cocktail for our rigs? Is it a waste of time and money? Is cetane levels a big concern? what to do?

The only differences between offroad and onroad Diesel are the dye and the taxes you pay at the pump.

I emailed Redline about how much additive to use after the initial dose:
"Thank you for contacting Red Line Oil, after the initial strong clean up dose, the continuing treat ratio would be between 1.5 and 5.5 ounces per 10 gallons of fuel depending on the cetane boost desired.
The 85+ and the Diesel Fuel Catalyst are the same product, no difference except the packaging."
So if this the case, I suppose I'll run 6 oz. in the front and 6 oz. in the rear tank.
