Sales rep I talked to my fuel guy and they are using schaeffers. We have had a few problems but I think it's more I ring then gel. Was told to use hotline.
As mentioned a 5 year old thread and still going
Brother in law is a trucker and swears by Lucas, I don't use any of it, IMO its all snake oil. Now adding Sulphur for the old engines I would go for that
I have had an increase in distributor pump problems in the last 4 years so I started adding 1 gallon of 15/40 or straight 10 engine oil per 600 gallons of fuel . It is hard to say wheather or not it helps but I figured it cost naf all and couldn't do any harm . The thing is that the last two engine heads I removed had a build up of a cement like material (similar texture and colour) built up around the injectors more so ,but on all the head and around the top of the piston . One piston had so much the outline of both valves were plane to see. Is this the diesel or is it ash from the oil as it is not a low ash oil ? Is there much ash in cannolla oil ? or vegetable oil in general . Would cheap and cheerful supermarket vegetable oil be good enough ? You see I just love to be odd .

i would. That system was designed for yesterday's fuel. I'd consider a full package, ie cetane boost, certainly lubricity, detergency etc.
