Are you close to Santa Fe Springs? If yes you could pick it up at the website I posted. Shipping is $7.95 per $0-$100 order. Too much for a quart.

I just went through a bad tank of fuel and got the clattering injectors. I have been using PS and it didn't help at all with this tank of fuel(I have been using it). I stopped by a Pilot station and picked up some Howes Meaner cleaner and within 100 miles the clatter and funky EGT's at idle stopped. Needless to say I won't be using PS again. I am now a Howe's man. End of story. Saw this thread and figured I would try it and it worked like a top.

Might as well put my $0.02 in, I also have found the Meaner Kleaner to be the best. I've been trying them all over the past few months and now that I'm done testing I'll be sticking with Meaner Kleaner. And the Seafoam every few months works really great.

Alright you guy's got my curiosity up. I've been using PS every tank full but I found some Howes at the Love's that I fuel up at, so when I'm done with my current bottle of PS I'll give the Howe's a try. BTW $13.99/qt. How much are the rest of paying?

It doesn't appear that Howes has a cetane booster in it. I have ran this additive in the past some but don't remember what it did for me. I always have the best luck with cetane boosters, esp in cold weather. Currently running Schaeffer's, but might try some of this in my Dodge again and see what happens.

I payed the around $12 in Nashville. I put my first 8oz. in tonight when I filled up. I think my idle has already smoothed up some.

As of this morning, my injector noise is gone along with a very smooth idle. I had just gotten used to the clatter and the rough idle, but now that it's gone I realize how bad it was. This stuff is great.

That is what I thought. Feels good to finally find something that works. I feel like i was throwing away my money on PS. Oh well, live and learn.
#72
So can anyone confirm if Howes includes a lubrication additive, Cetane booster, and anti-gel in this product? If not, should I just continue to add some PS along with the Howes? Is this Howes product really meant to be used in every tank full?

The placebo effect works for Dodge trucks, too. I tried a well known, and according to this forum, respected additive shortly after I bought my truck. Amazing, I thought I was getting better gas mileage--and I was. Now I attribute that to breaking in and not the additive. After break in, I could not tell any difference. Then I e mailed Cummins. They stated clearly that they don't recommend additives. The person who responded indicated if additives helped that much, the oil companies would be putting it in their fuel. But if it makes you feel good to lighten your wallet with a good placebo, go for it.
Bah! Humbug!
