I was wondering Redline diesel fuels is recommended. I have used them in the past and acutally saw some results but I am not sure if they are worth using (lift pump problems, etc)??? Also, is there any tricks to doing the fuel filter on a 98.5 24 valve. I have never done it before so it looks pretty difficult to get to without removing things. This vehicle stuff kills me I am used to working on boats (plenty of room)

 

Don't know about Redline, but Power Service and Lucas make a good fuel additive. The filter is relatively easy to change, drain the canister(by turning the yellow tab) into a container, when empty loosen the nut on top(middle) of housing while supporting canister, it may not just drop off, may have to pull it down a little. Remove old filter, and replace w/new filter. At this point you can refill the canister w/diesel and reinstall. I usually fill the canister w/Lucas upper
cylinder lube

 

I'm using Redline RL3. No problems, but who really knows if that means it works? Used it in my '83 Ford with 6.9 and Banks turbo too. I liked it's claims and it's economy of use compared to many other additives. I get a gallon for $35 and it treats 1200 gallons. I have a general positive feeling about Redline products across teh baord..but that's me.

 

Where does everyone buy their redline products?? I see them and Amsoil being used on this board in every lubrication/fuel thread. I have looked locally, but can not find them for sale. Shipping it in always jumps the price, but if the products are really worth it, then I can justify it.

 

Try Redline's website for a dealer near you. You can also call them if yo'r striking out there. I've found their dealer list isn't very complete.

I lucked out and found it at a local autoparts store for about 15% off of list. Quite a few places sell it at list around here.

Speedshops commonly carry Redline and others too. For the most part, Amsoil is through an amsoil dealer. DTR has a rep in the links (or did). I have found it at speeshops too though.
