I guess that raises a question concerning Power Service fuel treatmnet. Is it worth running all the time for the fuel pump lube as well as injector/valve cleaner? I believe a lot of big rig drivers use it quite a bit.
What are the benefits?

Phox,
I asked my brother more about this and this is what he told me:
The cheapest way to remove sulphur from diesel is by hydrotreating, which uses hydrogen to remove sulphur. Hydrogen is highly reactive and also takes lubricity away from the diesel.
So it is the PROCESS of removing sulphur that also removes the lubrication. No matter what though, it is less lubricated and that is bad for my pump.
Thanks for all the input guys
