i use power service's diesel kleen.

you can get it at most service stations that pump diesel.

I use Stanadyne Performance Formula

Power Service Diesel Clean (grey bottle) is easy to find (WalMart), is great for lubricity and a cetane boost, but doesn't offer any anti-gelling additives. For that get their Arctic Express.

the grey bottle is the anti-gel for power service.

I use Power Services's Diesel Kleen as well depending on where I get my diesel(I tend to trust truck stops more than regular service stations that sell diesel) and how often I drive my truck. As Bama said "the grey bottle is the anti-gel formula" and the white bottle is the "summer" version. Easily found at WalMart or your local parts store.

Just to clear things up Diesel Kleen (silver bottle) is a fuel system cleaner/lubricator and boost cetane by 6, but does not have an anti-gelling aditive. Diesel Fuel Supplement (white bottle) is the year round formula, has same benefits as above, but only a cetane boost of 4. And winter protection such as anti-gelling to -40F, equal performance as a 50/50 blend of No.1 & No.2, lowers CFPP point by 36 degrees, and contains anti-icing additives.
Just so happens I have both bottles in front of me. Link if you wanna check'em out www.powerservice.com

ummm, if i read my directions lately - i think they say 6 cetane boost is at 50 gallons or 100 gallons. i'd have to go look at the bottle. then 3 cetane boost is at the other gallon mark...

i use this product too!!
