Having just bought my TDI and having only one fill up, I must ask Do you really feel a difference in performance after using power service? Is this stuff VW approved?
Thanks
Thanks
PS bottles are the worst....no matter how tight you make the lid they seep... ....my beetle has been the victim of several PS leakers that overturned (my fault of course) and leaked the headache inducing fluidscooperhsd said:THat's why I DON'T carry open containers in the car any more - it gives me a severe headache in short order....
Where do you fill up? Do they carry both Koch Gold Diesel and Koch Gold Diesel Plus?Steve-o said:I don't know as there's a noticeable performance increase (okay, I hardly notice any but that's because I'm filling up with Koch Gold 50-cetane). But the improvements in lubricity and absorbing water, etc. -- it's cheap insurance.
Mills Fleet Farm is a local chain of "farm supply" stores; they carry Koch Gold (no Plus) in the summer and Koch Arctic the other 10 months (just kidding!).pogopop77 said:Where do you fill up? Do they carry both Koch Gold Diesel and Koch Gold Diesel Plus?
Probably is in Tennessee where a lot of the population has a "bounty" on their heads......Bob_Fout said:Is Bounty a bad word?

I'm only bustin' his chops.Bob_Fout said:Mike, I've met Tony (aja8888). He meant no offense.
It might be a good product, but it's not as popular.Ton said:What's wrong with Lucas Oil's Fuel additive - It doesn't stink period. I've tried Power service.
I don't think I'd worry about either of the two.Turbolader Du Idiot! said:Speaking of opened bottles: I'm kinda worried because it's clearly written on the PS bottle to "use all content on opening". Is this really important? It seems that everyone is keeping his opened in the car...which is also what I planned on doing, but I was just a bit worried...
And btw, did you guys noticed a difference in engine noise after using PS for the first time? I just treated first tank with the product and my car is def making a rumble noise...(hope I chose the right english word)
I've used the same 2-stroke oil bottle going on 2 years now and I have had no problems.securityguy said:I keep a quart that has been opened in the back of my trunk standing upright as I use it during each fill-up. After opening it for the first time, I took a piece of tin foil and folded it over a few times and placed it over the top and then resealed the screw top so it wont leak.
DO NOT place the liquid in a different plastic container as the container it comes in has a special chemical treatment to prevent the liquid from eating through the plastic. If you use an oil container, it will soften the plastic and eventually eat through the bottom. Only glass or the original container is suitable. This info came directly from PS Technical Support.
I use a measuring container similar to that used by Sta-bil gas additive.PDJetta said:I've used the same 2-stroke oil bottle going on 2 years now and I have had no problems.

I looked at the bottom of both my 2-stroke oil empty and the Power Service bottle and they both said HDPE in the recycle symbol (High Density Polyethelene) plastic.securityguy said:That's good to hear. PS told me NOT to put it into another plastic container. Maybe they are being overly cautious.
Thanks!
I am in the meat business and laugh every time the new "moist and tender" crap comes out, they started out adding 5% sodium solution, now it can be up to 30%.... salt water is pretty darn profitable stuff. It also started out in chicken, now it's in pork, and a customer told me it is now in walmarts pre-cut steaks.... sorry for digress but when all these little things start happening everywhere and it drives me nuts. And don't get me started on the ice cream containers!Leo819 said:I am not surprised. Food packaging has gotten smaller over the past year. It's finding it's way to all the products we use.
I found the perfect PS container / dispenser, glass, 7oz size, long neck for easy pouring, designed to hold stinky liquids...securityguy said:Only glass or the original container is suitable. This info came directly from PS Technical Support.
You can run in both gas and diesel.Bob_Fout said:It might be a good product, but it's not as popular.
Is it for gas and diesel, or just diesel?
I am more likely to use PS/Winter in Bio.BioPassat said:I used to use Power Service (PS) with every fill up of B20, but decided that the Biodiesel was a good enough alternative as it is for increased cetane? If I fill up without any Biodiesel, I'll use some Power Service.
What do you guys think?
Is profit a bad word? Many have no idea the cost of running a business so there could be many justifable reasons for there actionsBob_Fout said:Is Bounty a bad word?
