Default Fuel Additives

What brands of fuel additives does everyone use and have any of you had any experiences with any of them?

I use Howes in my 350, JCB backhoe, and Freightliner. Never had a problem and have even seen mpg's go up by about .5 mpg on the Freightshaker.

I'm running Amsoil Diesel Concentrate with Cold Flow improver, and its made a decent difference already, even with having only used one bottle of it so far this winter. The truck has quieted down even more, and its working well. Contact Heath if you need some, I know he'll get you a great price on it.

The additives that I have used on my FORD 1999 F-250 7.3 PSD is PS & ACETONE !!! You put 2 oz of acetone per 10 gallons of diesel & you will get better MPG, BUT DON'T USE IT ON THE DPF TRUCKS, cause I don't know if they can handle it. GOOGLE it ACETONE IN DIESEL, For my 2008 FORD F-250 6.4 PSD, I don't use any additives

I was advised by the Chevy dealer guys NOT to use #1 in my D-max...anyone else been told that? Tow truck driver (Yeah I learned a hard lesson from using STP non-winter specific additive in -10F) told me he runs up to 50% #1 when the temp dips down to -20F. I started using Howes and haven't had an issue now in 2000+mi of -10F to 32F driving. The STP s*** I bought before because I couldn't find any good stuff and that ended up badly...
