diesel additives

Are any of the fuel additives worth using? I just read about the bullydog Rapid Power Fuel Reformulator. Are these just gimmicks or do they really work? Especially on new (06) vehicles?

most guys here tend to run the power service or stanadyne. There are some more out there that use others but these are the most popular. I use a power service/ marvel mystery oil mix. good results

I use the Power Service, inexpensive, but I am not sure if it works or not. I have ran it from day one, can't hurt, but then again I have had no problems yet with anything (knock on wood)

I use 4Plus Premium with BioArmor from DSG. It is a highly concentrated high quality additive. It cost's less then 4 cents per treated gallon. (I get it at a price lower, then what's listed). http://www.dieselservices.com/html/bioarmor/

No matter what Cummins says I believe that a quality additive is a required with all diesels nowadays, this is especially true with the new low sulfur diesel that is coming out.
