If fuel is already geled, you need power service 911 in the red bottle to melt it...
Link?I just saw a video with very much the same additives being texted, guy actually sent to the lab like 5 different additive including a few from this post here,he spent like 5K testing them, and the winner was Opti lub, followed by Archoil,,, Sranadyne was last and Hotshot was next to last, test was for lubricity, cetane and something else.
He said the best bang for the bucks was Archoil, Option lube was the most expensive but better than the others, which it is the opposite to what we get from this guy here testing these additives
Somehow your CP pump on a CR do not fail overnight but when they do it is catastropic, cost thousands of $, lack of lubricity with the CR,,at least here where i live ULSD was introduced 16 years ago and this is a killer in a long run for pumps, that's why we,are all talking about diesel additive, ill effect on any diesel does not come right away, but it will come with a lot of money to fix.Next, look up at what temperature diesel looses lubricity, go monitor fuel temps, and tell me why the common rail cars didn't come with a fuel cooler.
I agree about the fuel system. I would like to clarify, I do not use the Stanadyne Lubricity formula for an anti gel- the Lubricity formula isn't advertised as an anti gel, nor did the Lubricity formula get tested unless I missed it. I actually watched that most recent video fatmobile poster a few months ago. I have been using the Hot Shots this winter and will continue to use it in the cold on my personal vehicles, and use the Stanadyne Lubricity formula in the warm months. Bottom line is the ulsd in America just doesn't have great lubricity and I absolutely believe something should be used to substitute it, especially on common rail setups.Somehow your CP pump on a CR do not fail overnight but when they do it is catastropic, cost thousands of $, lack of lubricity with the CR,,at least here where i live ULSD was introduced 16 years ago and this is a killer in a long run for pumps, that's why we,are all talking about diesel additive, ill effect on any diesel does not come right away, but it will come with a lot of money to fix.
On his lab test, stannadyne had no lubricity, and that's is not frakanstain test, so i really believe on his results, hot shot being next to last, so next time Archoil would be my choice, where Opti lube being the best but it is way too pricey for me
I switched from PowerService to Hotshots last summer... Seems like it might be a bit better - car seemed a little more smooth. Slightly more than PS, but I have no complaints. I'm generally putting in about 80-100 mls per tank.Did you consider Hot Shots EDT? It's reasonable priced and has a number of benefits including lubricating the HPFP.
You know what, you are absolutely right! I clicked that video that other day and thought "oh this is the one I've already seen", but after going back and watching both, it was the older one I had seen." I actually watched that most recent video fatmobile poster a few months ago. "
The video I linked to says it was posted a couple weeks ago.
In this new test/review he took into account some of the comments in his last test
which was posted 5 years ago.
