Brother In Law now sells "Ferox" fuel additive.....

and of course, he thinks I should run it in everything we own--two CTD's, a Duramax, two JD 100+ hp tractors, a New Holland swather, and other various autos. I think it is another attempt by him to get rich without actually working, which is what he has attempted to do for the past 20+ years. Does this sound bitter--that is what I was shooting for.

Anyhow, anyone ever heard of this stuff? I am strickly Power Service in every tank, both summer and winter, and there is no way in hell I am running this stuff in anything, let alone my diesel engines, without knowing more about it.

Look forward to hearing from anyone....

Doesn't seem right does it? #1 is basically kerosene, with much less BTU content than #2, and zero lubricity, which means much less power - and 1gal\10000gal?

Dunno - sounds like somebody's been milking snakes.............

Rat poison is 90 some percent grain, but it still works.

Don't get me wrong, based on that link I don't think most people would see results. One of our customers is essentially being forced to use a liqued catalst injected in the suction side of the compressor. I don't like and and wouldn't do use, but that's what he needs to do to keep his routes. I think someone is getting their pockets lined to force this.
