Not exactly the same question, but there was a lot of good info.

Diesel fuel additives

[Capt.Troy Crane]

Bio bor does not condition the fuel, meaning it does not add any lubrication or cetane improver to it. Only treats the algae.

You need to be putting a lubricant into the fuel with todays ulsd fuels (ultra low sulfur diesel) it will be getting worse as time goes by. Alot of diesel is heading for the overseas market and it's junk. run an additive that adds lubrication or you will regret it, trust me.

Check out www.schaefferoil.com and look at the fuel additives, lots of info there.

Good luck,

I'll back up Capt. Troy on this one..I've use it in several boats I've run over the years and I highly recommend..... Troy is a friend and a dock partner, but that has nothing do to due with the performance of this product... It does exactly what it states it does !!!!!!

I am in no way affiliated with this company.

Ron and troy thanks for the advice,thats twice you guys have said something about schaffer products I cant find them except on the web.

.....well, we have a product that quite a few diesel guys are raving about Ford's "cetane booster & performance improver" part # PM-22-A.....one 20 fl.oz. bottle treats 125 gallons of fuel and it's @$6.25 per bottle (wholesale) or we can-do $5.95 per bottle if you buy a case of 12 or more...I cant ship this stuff cheaply(hazmat).... but if anyone wants to try some, you can pick-up here at the dealership or I can deliver to OCMD occasionnaly

000's, you should be careful about using Biobor on a regular basis. It is intended as a biocide and really should only be used if you have a problem with bacteria in your fuel. It has some nasty stuff in it that is hard on your fuel injection equipment. So despite what they recommend I would not use it as a maintenance item. Also, if you do have bacteria issues you need to get your tanks clean and get the water out. The bacteria live in the interface between the diesel fuel and the water so, no water = no bacteria.

As far as additives, the recommendations to use a lubricity additive are exactly right. Todays fuel in the U.S. does not meet the standards that the fuel injection manufacturers requested. The oil companies lobbied for a lower standard and won. We sell Stanadyne, and I highly recommend their Performance Formula from my own experiences with it. (Note: Stanadyne is a fuel injection system manufacturer) However there are several quality additives on the market. Do your research, pick one, and keep using it.

It is best to consult your manufacture of your engines to find out what type of fuel pumps you have. this will dictate which lubricate you need to use.
