Here is observation. If the Fuel makers make ULSD and it causes harm to current Diesel engines they cannot survive the onslaught of Money Hungry Lawyers lurking out there that would love to sue them out of business for liable.

That maybe true of the left coast, but the Rocky Mtn states get most of their fuel via pipeline from Canada. We've been using ULSD for about a year on limited basis, with no such problems. And, we only use Stanadyne in the winter.

I have tried Meaner cleaner,M oil,Power service,lucas,seafoam and a couple others I can't remember. The one I'm using now is lube control FP-60. It seems to make my truck run smoother and quieter, I happy with it but it doesn't do anything to drop the gel point in the winter time.

I've been running a mixture of Diesel Kleen and Marvel Mystery Oil in every tank for the past year. Don't know if it helps, but I don't think it can hurt...
