It was -41 this morning, and every truck started right up, just plugged in, but no fuel additives.
Our new employee started work for us today.

That settles it. No more Showed going in my fuel. I use lots of it. Sure turns out it is bad for lubrication.singlescrewshaker Thanks this. -
I started using Hot shots secret after I saw the project farm video. It put off fuel injector replacement for about two years. Had a check engine light that would come on and off frequently before I started using it. Just got new injectors yesterday, but I’m sure the hot shots helped me put that off enough to save up.

Yes I often question the quality of some of these so called diesel fuel additives, these days some of the diesel fuel already has additives in it to help with keeping the injectors clean, the catch is though one does not know how well these additives have been mixed when transported from the major fuel terminals, when your re- filling your fuel tanks it probably would still pay to use an additive provided it was a good quality one that actually has been proven to work.

Here is z fact through testing, Howes diesel treatment is very harmful. It was rated worst in friction tests. It destroyed bearing in test. ( their lie, " lubrication ".
Now on to something I know works. Lucas DPF cleaner. I buy from truck center in Wichita. Have not seen it anywhere else.
I have not cleaned my dpf. 550 000 miles.
It was plugging up after about 3 hours idle time. One bottle, 55 bucks in 120 gallons fuel. Now I idle all night with no problems.
This is 3rd time I used it. Works!
