What Type Of Fuel Additive Are You Guys Using?
http://www.fppf.com/images/products/fuelpowernew.jpg
I use Fuel Power additive, that I buy by the gallon from a truck supply store in Orlando for a little over $50, which is a lot cheaper than buying 8 oz. bottles at truck stops. I've used FP on a variety of cars and pickup trucks, since I got my very 1st diesel in 1984, an Isuzu pickup. My original Volvo truck w/ Volvo engine had 538,000 miles on it when I got it 5+ years ago, and I've used Fuel Power since then up to the 1,066,000 miles when I traded it in, and NEVER needed any work on injector pump or fuel injectors during all those miles. :clap: |
The only thing I ever added to my fuel tank was more fuel when it got low and a small amount of methyl alcohol when it got colder the -25.
When I serviced my truck, I would fill the fuel filters with ATF (automatic transmission fluid) as a cleaner for the injectors. I had to stop doing that when they started looking for red dye in the fuel to signify the use of untaxed, off road fuel. I was told you can purchase un-dyed ATF but I never pursued it. |
I don't use any unless it gets down to zero and I'm leaveing the truck for a few days (no place to plug it in) Never had a problem

I don't use additives. I think that most of them are a waste of money. I may use a little alcohol in my fuel if I get some water in my fuel. I have also been known to add some transmission fluid. That is all that I use. I have only been checked one time for dye in the tank. I still had the container for the transmission fluid. It wasn't a problem.

A fuel sample would resolve any questions about the content of your fuel tank.

When its done at the side of the road there is NO analysis, it is the officers discretion, you should know how that will work, and the fine is usually by the gallon based on full fuel capacity, because they will assume that the tanks were completely full of the dyed fuel at one time or another. Try to fight it in court see whose favor it comes out for. Remember how most states are cash strapped. As far as additives I don't use any, maybe only if its gonna be real cold. Heres a link to an oil additive test you might find interesting though What about Additives? |
