anyone here have a problem with 2 stroke oil fouling up your injectors?

 

Has anyone heard of or like "Diesel treat 2000"????

 

Did you find that online? I'd be interested in that.

 

I use power service in the white bottle year round and it works great I was sold the first bottle i used last winter that i put in on my way to elk camp and been using it since. I just add the whole 32oz bottle in at every fill up. Excessive yes but it works for me I just did not want half of a bottle laying around leaking so i just use what i got. I buy it by the case and I also am a member of the big rig club and its guaranteed not too gel or its there bill. My truck sat for two weeks in 0 and -4 deg temps with a foot of snow sitting on it at elk camp with just one treating of it with a weak lift pump and it fired on the first pull

 

Yep living in Dufer OR is one reason why you have to use that the white bottle of PS year round, that and it does not have very many straight roads

 

Anyone use lucas oil? That's what I use until it gets cold, then I pour in some Howes.

 

I also heard that Power service has alcohol in it so it will dry out o rings and seals. That's why I stay away from it.

 

Why exactly are you sold? Have you ever done that without fuel treatment? In extreme cold winters around here we sometimes get that cold, and we don't start our trucks unless we are going to pull, so sometimes they sit in 0 degree weather for 10 days or so and they always start, don't ever use any additive either. Were just lucky I guess?

All fuel stations that sell #2 diesel in the winter where it gets 20 degrees or less have to add anti-gel to the fuel so it doesn't gel in the hoses on the pumps. Therefore you are running an additive. Whether it's enough or not is the question and what kind. That's why I use my own anti-gel.

 

Power service has no alcohol in it whats so ever.

Quoted right off the back of my bottle sitting in my shop

"Does not contain alcohol of any kind"

Reason I am sold on it is because it has served me well. While I probably don't need to run it in the winter time but I like to think of it as preventive maintenance as it helps clean my injectors and it bumps with the cetane levels and make things run smoother and not as rattly

 

Yes I have used it, but at $4.29 for a 5.5 oz bottle it cost a lot more then PSD does. Have you noticed if the Howes boost the fuel Centane as much as the Lucas does and do you get the same MPG when you use it? One palce just started to carry it here at $9.95 a 1/2 gallon but I can't find any info about how much it will boot the Centane.

 

I use Lucas "upper cylinder lubricant." It lubricates the pump and injectors. I use 4 oz for 26 gallon. It calls for 8 oz. Also it is a non-solvent. I use howes for anti-gel in the winter and a few tanks during the summer.
If you find it on sale it's $6.99 for 32 ozs.

I use Lucas, not sure if it increases my gas mileage or not. I squirt in about 3 oz. per 10 gallons of fuel. I assume its providing some extra protection...

I use good ole #2 diesel. Nothing else. Cummins says you don't need any additives and im gonna take them at their word. So far no problems in 54,000 miles.
