Fuel and oil additives are often thought of as snake oil, because the technology isn’t clearly understood and folks are just natural suspicious when crazy big claims are made about what they can and can’t do. In the diesel world there is a real need for fuel conditioners that will keep your Diesel #2 from jelling up in the cold like we’re experiencing across the country right now. If you live far enough north, you can buy Diesel #1, which is less prone to jelling, but that doesn’t cover most of the country.
So if you live in the midwest and aren’t far enough north to get Diesel #1, are are going through this cold snap wondering what to use in your diesel, check out the video below to see which diesel fuel additives really do stop fuel jelling the best, and which are just junk.
Video Description:
Hot Shot’s, PEAK, Power Service Diesel, Amsoil, Archoil, STA-BIL, Optilube, Howes, Stanadyne, Ford, and Lucas. Anti-gel additives compared for performance at preventing diesel fuel from gelling or reaching cloud point. Fuel additives also compared for corrosion resistance, flammability, and the ability to demulsify water trapped in fuel. I purchased all of the fuels to ensure an unbiased review. So, thank you for supporting the channel!
