I run Power Service when the temps start getting lower, and I am running B2 also, I know it won't gel as fast as B5 or B20, but I don't want to take a chance as my truck sits alot now that I have a VW TDI to commute in. Never had an issue with Power Service so far...

Power service or Stanadyne. Had good luck with both, but I like the Stanadyne a little better, it doesn't small as bad if it dribbles under the seat. ;)

Why would you keep it under the seat if you got that ginormous tool box on the back??? :lol:

I have been thinking of switching to that stuff, the local pump shop has tons of it (literally) and they have been having a sale on it, I can get it in 5 gallon cans on the cheap...if it's good enough for Pete, good enough for me ;)

Uhhh, I haven't put it on yet. I've been hauling firewood and don't know when from day to day. Both trucks are drilled for it so it's an easy install. The worst part is listening to the kids whine because they have to run the air wrench. Something about how loud it is with their head inside the box? :lol:

I use Power Service, silver bottle in the summer and white bottle in the winter. I get better mileage, at least mentally, using an additive :lol: Adding lubricity that our government kindly took out of our fuel helps too

Schaeffer All Season Soy Shield/Synshield. You won't want to get this on your hands nor have it spill inside the cab.

It is a super concentrated soy oil w/some antigel. It works. I have also used it on the CAT C7 ACERT engines and they are known to stick injectors. They don't with this stuff. They also start well in the cold with the additive. Otherwise they won't w/o the block heater. I mean they won't fire and run even at 35°F with out block heat.
