I use Stanadyne during the winter every other tank. I us it more when I know I will be parked outside (hunting). She is usually babied in the garage. Hard to find though.

Power service in the gray bottle for me year around. I use it every couple tanks. I also use 2 stroke oil (TCW3 ashless from walmart) every couple tanks as well.

Weaker mixed Stanadyne when I can find it, or weaker Lucas when I can't, every tank.

I use Amsoil Diesel Concentrate in every tank. Costs me about $2.50 per fillup.

Ever since I read this article, I feel obligated to share it anytime someone talks about additives. Good reading.

Amalgamated TDR-S

Amalgamated TDR-S. I've tried them all. The engine does run quieter with this brand. We'll check the mileage after a tank.

About every forth or fifth tank I pour in some Power Service Diesel Klean. For the rest it's a mixture of Optilube and TCW3.
