Best & worst diesel fuel additive treatment?

Maybe they still sell #1 diesel fuel up there still ehhh……

 

Our fuel right now is good down to -46C.

 

I'm in ND. Our shop fuel is good to -20F. But we start running a little #1 below zero. The one truck I run is a vocational Mack with a body tank we use to do small methanol drops. It seems picky with #2 when it starts cooling off. So the boss says run straight #1 in that below zero. Idk, I've always said you can pay for quite a bit of #1 for what a road call and possibly a tow cost.

 

Putting additive in to keep your fuel from gelling is much cheaper than getting towed

 

I'm in northen-ish Alberta, I've never once had fuel gelling issues. I still treat below -25C just to be sure.
I've used Howes with no ill effects, but I find it hard for my drivers to consistently treat. 1 driver a jug lasts a month, others its gone in a week.
I've been using Stanadyne simply because it comes in driver proof bottles. Dump 1 in when you fuel. 1 bottle treats 60 gallons.
As long as they remove the little foil bottle seal before putting into the tank

 

I use power service diesel kleen.

I don't know if it would benefit new engines the way that it does mine, but the low sulfur fuel does not have good lubricity.

 

Project Farm knows all

 

Power service and good Ole #1

 

nope, it’s just a waste of money. About 1 time of year I will run some hotshot secret injector cleaner thru the system. More to make myself think it’s helping. But I generally don’t have fuel system issues in winter or any other time of year. I have tank heaters and they are plumbed into my cooling system and my apu helps keep a little warmth in fuel tanks.
That and I try to avoid biodiesel as much as possible. That garbage is about as useful as
Ethanol in gas. Biodiesel loves to absorb moisture and algae. Especially south in the swampy climates
