I have one of the large jugs of the PS fuel additive thats white. This sunday on my way home from the dunes, i stopped at the truck stop and saw they had 3 differant bottles. the one i have thats white. then a grey bottle and then a differant additive that im not worried about. Is there a differance in the white and grey bottles? which one should i be running?

 

white has the antigel, grey is a cetane boost plus lubrication. I run both depending on the time of year.

 

does the white have any lube? or is it straigh for antigel? I'm in San Diego so thats the last thing I'm worried about.

 

SHould say on the bottle. I think it helps centane levels as well as a anti gel. Id imagine it a lube too.

 

If your in a warm climate run the silver only, no need to spend money on the white with anti-gell.

 

Yep, if it gets cold enough in San Deigo to need anti-gel the rest of us have problems.........


Use the silver bottle.

 

they are the same price. so its not an issue of wasting money. it seems that every where i look they only have the white for some reason. i just so happend to see the grey on the shelf. just curiouse if the white has lube properties or if its just wasting my money. i dont really see a reason to run it as far as boosting the cetane. my truck is bone stock. nothing that im doing requires a higher cetane.

 

The best lube for your engine is 2-5% Bio diesel, so if you can buy it use it. BTW you don't need to use PS in every tank.

 

i have not seen any bio around here. if i do find it is there differant blends or are you saying to run a small amount of it with the #2?

i dont run the PS in every tank just add some here and there. I know the new #2 doesnt have as good luberication properties but I'm sure that running just normal diesel oil and #2 wont hurt anything. I'm not using the truck to do anything too crazy.

 

Some stations sell Bio mixed diesel fuel ranging from 2% up to 20% or more. Dodge allows us to use up to 5% Bio with out affecting our warranty. FYI, a pump labeled B-5 will contain 5% Bio and 20% Bio is listed as B-20.

 

ahh rgr thanks. All the pumps here I have seen are just labled #2. I'm assuming these do not have bio mixed? Or do they also have #2 with bio added?

 

if there is bio fuel in the mix it will be posted on the pump as
B20 = 20% Bio-diesel
B5 = 5% Bio-diesel ect...

If your using Power Service additive in a warm climate where an anti-gell is not needed use the gray bottle labeled "Diesel Kleen"
If your in a colder climate your probably already getting #1 Diesel at the pump.

 

oh i understand that but would it still be labled as #2 or is that something totally differant?

also does #1 have anti gel aggents in it already?

 

I know there is one station in No. Las Vegas, off the I 15, that sells B5.
I fueled up there on the last trip to Utah but didnt notice anything spectacular using it.
To me, the truck ran the same.

 

As far as the Power Service goes, the white (winter formula) and grey (warm weather) bottles are nearly identical.

Both give cetane boost and lubricity. The white has the anti gel additive. However in adding the anti-gel, it reduces the cetane boost effect a little.

When I was stationed in San Diego, I always used the grey bottle, year round. To me, it never got cold enough for me to use the white bottle.

You mentioned 3 different color bottles. One grey, one white, and the third I assume you saw is red. The red bottle from Power Service is sold as Diesel 911. If your fuel gels up, you add that to the tank and fuel filter housing and wait a few minutes. It "thaws out" the gelled fuel so you can get going again.


Hope this helps
