    OK. Well if you miss your load let me know. Think I'll be in Louisville for the weekend unless something real good pops up. I need to drop this headache rack off for someone and some tarps for the new guys (or gals)

    one quart treats 250 gallon, you will notice a difference after a couple tanks. Myself, when treating with either product for the first time. I would get enough to treat non stop for 10-12 thousand miles.

    After treatment then put a dose in once a month. The worst fuel I got on a consistent basis was Loves @ Boonville Mo.

    BoiBor 1oz treats 35 gal as a shock treatment or 75 gal for maintenance bottle is 16oz.

    Any ongoing fuel problem, you want to get cleared up before winter.
     
    TruckerPete1990 Thanks this.

    I used the fuel temp, mostly for winter. It took the reading as fuel went into the fuel-water separator. If it was 25 below, it was nice to know what temp the fuel was.

    Fuel restriction goes between the frame mounted fuel-water separator and the transfer pump. It measures how hard the pump is sucking to get thru that filter. You know real fast if you picked up some bad fuel. Or if the filters begin to ice up in cold weather. Fresh 30 micron filter would pull about 3 inches, I would change it at 6 to 7

    My fuel pressure gauge was mounted after the fuel went thru the engine mounted fuel filter. A fresh filter pressure would run in the high 90s, when it got to the mid 80s I would change it.

    Information was knowledge. The side of the road or a parking lot is not the place to change filters

    This was on a C15 6NZ cat
