Fuel Additives?

Is anyone familiar with a good quality diesel additive? Im a believer in Amsoil, oil products, but I have heard that there are better diesel additives out there. What do you all know??

Most people on here use Power Service, Howes, or Stanadyne (hope I spelled that right). But there are some who use other name brands. Regardless of what you use, make absolutely sure it doesn't contain any alcohol.

I use Diesel Kleen every fill-up. Wal-Mart carries it for $15.77 for 96 ounces.
Tractor Supply sells it for 13.96 I believe, but they are not in a convenient location to me.

Any blend of bio-diesel works best for me. I've tried other additives and nothing has changed fuel mileage, power, smoke, or injector noise. Bio changes smoke amount and injector noise and didn't do anything for power or mileage.

Also bio adds more lubricity to the fuel than any additive on the market.

Power Service white bottle in the winter if you live up north. Opti-Lube XPD all year 'round.
