Whats The Best Diesel Additive For Winter
 

any experiences on this is helpful...

Stanadyne winter formula.

or any winter formula additive for that mater.

i been using diesel 911 in a red quart container

I use Diesel Kleen in the white bottle I think -- can get it at wally world (gray is for summer I think, doesnt' have any antigel in it)

I use our diesel concentrate plus the cold flow improver in the winter. Sorry, not found a Wally World:)

Stanadyne here as well!

Same here. During the warmer weather I use 2 cycle. But once the weather swings, I switched over to Stanadyne. :c:

wow that's a pretty good marketing strategy

Yup pretty slick.

ever tank in the winter i add 3 gallons of kerosene, 12oz lucas fuel addative for diesel, 6oz power service diesel fuel supliment and a half a qt of snowmobile 2 stroke oil, but we hit sub-zero temps here in the winter, and i like the pump well lubricated

Blend of #1 and #2 fuel w/ 2 stroke oil. Every 5th tank, I run Power Service in the gray bottle.

Schaeffers Winter Diesel Treat.... :U:

I had very good luck with power service 911 in the red bottle...Saved me a few times when I mixed to much bio with diesel in cold weather..:argh:

I run Howes is everything from the Jetta my Dodge and my loader tractor. Never have had a problum. But I live in North Dakota so it doesn't get very cold. It was warm -28 this morning :madd:

Must be up on the high line!!:ouch:

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. :U:

howes is what i use... where you at in nd hummin cummins... i know a couple guys that drive dodge dually's around here

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.

I don't use any additives, even when it has drop down into the low 40's !!!

We are talking about the Liberty CRD, right?
The liberty should have a factory installed electric fuel pre heater at the fuel filter with a power output of 150 Watts to prevent clogging the filter. It activates automatically at temperatures below +5° C to ensure proper starting and driving. In Germany the Liberty CRD is also outfitted with an Optima Red Top by factory.
Additives shouldn't be necessary. If starting problems occur the glow plugs and relay should be checked.

I also run Howes, but I'm always looking for new alternatives. Howes works great, but I have to use so much of it to keep my truck running, and I find that it boosts the cetane too much running at the concentrations I need (aprox. 300mL/100L of fuel, approximately double the recommended concentration of 300mL/190L). It does keep everything unclogged, and works very well at that, but the truck seems to run more roughly. I would like to try the Stanadyne Winter formula now that I have found a dealer here at home.

Where do you get your PowerUP Gen49D from?

The report you are referring to may be found here:

But keep in mind that was referring to Howes Meaner Kleener formula; I'm not sure how it differs from the regular Howes Diesel Fuel Conditioner that is most widely used.

I love turpentine one quart to 40 gals diesel.I'd love to have a Jeep Liberty Turbo.

I run a Bio Blend and do not run any additive, have never had a problem with my 05 CRD starting, I do plug the block heater in when it gets down in the teens just so she warms up faster in the am going to work
