Can't claim is better but look at the cost of Howe's I've used it an not had any problems and I can buy it cheaper then I can power service. Do you have a Mills Fleet Farm near buy that is where I buy my Howe's at.

I run Power Service in my truck in the wintertime. I live in Northern MN. Where I usually get fuel, you dont have a choice what fuel you get. One pump that says "Diesel Fuel." They do have a sign with the dates and the temps that the fuel is good till.

i made bio diesel and when i would get too much in the tank when it got cold it would start waxing. power service i know for a fact done the trick. bio diesel and cold weather is a pain.

The Power Service Diesel Supplement has always worked great for me. Only use it every now and then though. I usually run mixed #1 and #2. Ratio depends on how cold it is.

And where do we get this Power Service Supplement.. Does it lubricate the Pump also.
