I've used Power Service (Grey jug) and many others use it also. It's purdy much proven it's worth. If anything else, it puts some lubricity back into ULSC #2 diesel.

Never tried any Stanadyne.

I use Howes Diesel Treatment.

Howes Diesel Treat
Diesel Conditioner Plus Anti-Gel

The Best Selling Brand in North America.

Just ask any trucker and they will tell you that Howes Diesel Treat corrects problems caused by Low Sulfur Diesel Fuel. In the growing diesel powered auto, pick-up truck and light duty truck market, Howes replaces the lost lubricity from the lower sulfur and aromatic content. This results in more power, increased MPG’s and better performance. In addition, Howes purifies the fuel by mixing instantly without agitation and driving out contaminants. This treated fuel cleans and lubricates the entire fuel injection system. Combustion is enhanced. Water is encapsulated and burns off harmlessly. Fuel injectors and filters last up to three times longer. In cold weather, Howes Diesel Treat is an excellent anti-gel that prevents fuel from gelling and freezing.
Guaranteed no gelling or we pay the tow
North America’s #1 selling brand with professional truckers
Prevents low sulfur fuel problems, year round
Improves power, performance and MPG’s
Contains 100% active ingredients

I use Howes too, on both PSD and TDI. I get mine from Speedway gas stations of REAL truck stops.

FYI- The jug is unbreakable, but the cap isn't! DAMHIKT

You caught my attention Crumm, Where can I find some of this ??

On there Website they have a link to there distributors. I get it at a local truck parts place. It is much cheaper in the bigger gallon jugs than it is in the small bottles. I purchased a case of the small bottles and refill them from the bigger gallon jugs with a small funnel. It is much easier to get it in the tank from the small bottle.

I've seen Diesel Treat at some Love's and Flying J truckstops.

A little FYI....Stanadyne additives are the only ones made by a fuel injection company. They are harder to come by because Stanadyne service dealers are the only source for them, sometimes the SD's will sell to parts stores.

I run Stanadyne Performance blend with my various blends of biodiesel I run. I'm not worried about lubricity because I'm always burning at least a B5 blend.

Just switched from RBP to stenadyne aint really paid much attention but i like the single use bottles of stenadyne.

I use Power Service anti-gel and cetane booster. I contains slick diesel and does seem to help it run smoother.
