I use Power Service. Many have told me it isn't needed, many have told me it is needed. Just to be on the safe side some goes in the tank every fillup.

I have run nothing but BG fuel conditioner in the past 8 months and have had no problems. The conditioner is very concentrated and a little bit goes a long way. The dealer I get my BG products from is first class. Always willing to do anything he can for me.

Howes Meaner Power Cleaner here in the warm climate. I didn't put it in for three tanks and heard a "louder" tick coming from the left side of the engine. It quiets somthing down, with the lubrication I guess.

I've been using the "Howes Meaner Power Cleaner" in the summer and "Howes Diesel Treat" in the winter in both my truck and all our heavy equipment, no problems even when it's -40*, great stuff,....You can buy it @ most PetroCanada truck stops/bulk stations or NADP.

If you are running a 5.9, with ULSD, it is highly recommended to run 16-32 Oz of 2 stoke oil, for lubricity of all things. I run this & PS silver. Do not really need ths white here.
You can get teh 2 stroke at wally orld, $8.25 a gallon or so.

Wow i think it is pretty cool that you guys mention Howes because that was the other name that i was told i could use with confidence besides B/g .
