Owners manual says not to use any additives. What are your thoughts and opinions on the subject.

Dieselcleen and 2 stroke oil are popular ones. if you use additives right, they're fine. if you dont use them right, you might have a problem. I've never heard of that brand, so i wouldnt use it. jmho.

That manual was printed before the diesel fuel was changed to the low sulfur stuff that we now contend with. In my opinion, based on writing of people a whole lot smarter than I, and additive of sorts is needed. I use low ash 2 cycle oil from Wally World......2OZ per Gal.
