Another vote for Howes. It runs in my backhoe, my 350, and my freightliner. Tried loads of other types and so far Howes has out performed them all.

I run PowerUP Gen49D fuel conditioner in every tank. Controlling any water in the system and adding lubrication is something to do all the time. They all claim to up mileage by improving Cetane, but our winter fuels up here are blended and it doesn't work that way. For the peace of mind, I don't worry about the price.

I know alot of guys that run Howes, but I read a lubrication report (I don't recall where) that shows its not much of a lube if at all. The 2 stroke oil came out on top, for obvious reasons, but made me take a second look at my fuel additives.
