Web site... CHANGED!
Ok gang...
I've pulled it together again... I've change my web site completely. I'm now hosting it from my own computer. Then it now a CLOSED FORUM. The public cannot view my pages without being a registered user.
So if you want to continue the 2 cycle conversation my new web site address is...
http://mopar1973man.servehttp.com

... has a redirect link on a page...
Come and enjoy tthe information...

thread dredging:
So what's the verdict on the power services additive? Since the ULSD crap in cali I've lost power over time.... seems like it runs better at high altitude than sea level. (weird).
Just for the hell of it I bought some PS additive and dumped 8oz into about the 25 gals I had left. My @$$ dyno says it's running way better but my mileage-o-mometer won't peak as high on the freeway as it usually does (same drive/weather/conditions)..looks like more smoke w/ the chip up too.... then I read the 2 stroke oil thread saying the ps additive made the output/mileage worse. next tank I'll do the 2 stroke oil.... I'd imagine after all the reading here my fuel system is tired from lack of lubrication so anything would be better than nothing?

Below here is what Cummins has to say about Bio. My self I say use what every % blend you want just make sure you have extra in line filters that can strip out the water.
A maximum blend of 5% biodiesel (B5) is acceptable as long as the biodiesel mixture
meets ASTM specification D-975, D-975 - grade S-15, and ASTM D6751. A biodiesel fuel blend that is higher than 5% is not acceptable without additional fuel processing because these higher percentage biodiesel blends contain excess amounts of moisture which exceed the water stripping capability of the on-engine final fuel filter. Should a higher percentage biodiesel fuels be used an auxiliary water stripping filter will be required.
A maximum blend of 20% biodiesel (B20) can be used by government, military, and
commercial fleets who equip their vehicle(s) with an optional water separator, and adhere
to the guidelines in the Department of Defense specification A-A-59693 (in addition to:
ASTM specification D-975, D-975 - grade S-15 and ASTM D6751)
