Besides the anti-gel, almost the same, except you get higher cetane boost number from the grey jug. The white gives a cetane boost of up to 4 numbers. The grey jug gives a cetane boost of up to 6 numbers.

I'm using the motorcraft anti-gel and performance improver. So far so good. I was using white bottle ps dk before without issue. Just got the motorcraft stuff real cheap, and you use less so less to store. FYI there's a new product and product number for those engines requiring ULSD. Ford has discontinued the old stuff, the new stuff works for all diesels.

I think canola oil runs around $2 for 1.5 quart bottles at Wall-to-wall Mart, not much more than diesel fuel and from what I understand a lot of bio uses canola as a feed stock. When I went on a trip last summer I went to BJ's (warehouse club) and got a 5 gallon jug of veggie oil. Then I put a dose of DK in a 2 liter soda bottle and filled it with the veggie oil. I made several up and had them in a milk crate in the bed, added one every fill up and tossed the empty soda bottle. Fuel treatment and lubricity additive in one easy to use bottle....

Did you miss the title, it's FUEL additive...

They don't call diesels oil burners for nothing.
