how often do you add fuel additive?
I'm in Ohio. They put additives in the diesel fuel to stop gelling at low temps. I think it's a law that all dealers have to sell this type of diesel during the winter months. Would I still need to use the other addtitives that I've seen mentioned on here?
I'm also curious, how often do you use the additives? Every tank ..once a month ..or what?
What is the best fuel additive (or your favorite)?

I use Diesel Kleen in the grey bottle in the warm 45*+ months cuz it has a centane addative in it for MORE POWER. and I use the white bottle in the colder winter months cuz it is has an antigel in it. and I have noticed a dramatic difference in the way the truck idles if I dont us any. I put 4 oz. per tank in every time i fill up, which is roughly 13 gallons of diesel per tank. all year every tank. the main reason i use it every time is cuz like I said earlier the truck runs much quieter with the addative, less knock.

Stanadyne is probably the best (they make your injectors & pump), but it's not widely availabe - or at least readily available.
I use Power Services aka Diesel Kleen in either grey or white bottle. WalMarket stocks it, as do most 'gas' stations with truck diesel pumps.
me - about 8 oz... every tank, all year long. it should also help with lubrication of the fuel system components, as today's treehugger happy diesel doesn't have the same additives as years ago.

I use Diesel kleen, it seems to have helped the truck. Smoother, less black smoke and generally runs better. The amount you add depends, as I never let my tanks run down less than 1/4 (do not need the hassel of bleeding EVERYTHING) you need to determine the # of oz. per tank to suite your truck.
