Sweet. Thanks for the tip.

 

[hotpocketdeath]

I have a feeling this is most likely an isolated occurrence.

I don't see Stanadyne on Autozone's website and Autozone is still not listed as a dealer on Stanadyne's website.

 

[texcross]

Yah not at our local one....
HUH.... there is a location 1 mile from me...

I was looking at this too. I was wondering since this is a demolsifier will the tdi fuel filter catch the water in it. I didn't think that the car had a separator on it for the fuel.

That's where I usually buy it.

I'm not sure if the CRs have a means of water separation in the filter. I was under the impression that they did not but someone recently posted that they do. I agree that a demulsifier isn't good on a car with no water separation.

I submit that any diesel fuel system where there exists a fuel filter of a reasonable capacity (e.g. the VW filter originally supplied with AHU or ALH engines, or the CAT filter) will have media and sufficient volume that it will act as a water separator.

For my cars, I have decided to quit worrying about it because:

1) in over 14 years, I've never found water in the filter
2) I use Redline
3) I suspect the biggest reason for the finding in #1 is because of #2.

Cheers,

PH

... 16oz bottle for $8.

That's 50 cents an ounce. Purchasing six half-gallon jugs at the link below cuts it to about 29 cents an ounce, including shipping:

That's what I do, and decant it into old 8-ounce Stanadyne bottles, which I keep in the trunk.

It's easy to spill during decanting from a full jug, even with a funnel, so I use a turkey baster to transfer the first few swallows.

WOW you make a real project out of a few ozs of additive

It's worth the trouble. I find that diesel fuel tastes really nasty without the additive (although your experience may vary).

I found the Stanadyne Performance additive here in the Mojave Desert today.
Picked up a 16 oz bottle at the Autozone for $5.99.

 

[Mike88]

My Autozone in Bradenton, FL has the quart bottles of the performance formula for $7.99.

Stanadyne at AutoZone

No AutoZone Nearby, but NAPA sells it for about $64 for a half gallon (including duties,shipping,overhead,storage,shelf space ,two useless electric plants,Oakville and Missisauga, but not including Goods and Service Tax 13%).

Considering the boost it gives to the fuel because the cetane levels are at 40 or so from the pump [Regular Diesel], AND my vehicle was designed before Ultra-Low-Sulfur-Diesel came into style, it has helped in my mpg. see fuelly at my sig.

 

[zagato27]

Just for grins I checked my local AutoZone. Nope, not on the shelf. When I asked the three employees at the counter they gave me the "deer in the headlight" look. They were less than helpful. I usually use Advance Auto, so I checked there, nope. Wally World....nope. About the only additive you find on the shelves in this area (Savannah) is PS, white and silver.

Stanadyne at autozone

Don't have it in Texas Stopped at the local AutoZone and they didn't have it, so they looked on the computer and it was not listed on the main system database. Must be a local store thing at the places that have it.

 

[tditom]

Don't have it in Texas ....

I found it at the Autozone just off of US281 north of TX1604.

Here's the address and number
‎
20138 U.S. 281
San Antonio, TX 78259
(210) 545-3153

I've found our local Northern Tool carries Stanadyne diesel additives - not sure if this is nationwide. I switched from the Performance formula to Lubricity formula and after 1.5 tanks it looks like I'm getting slightly better fuel economy - will log a few more tanks before drawing any conclusions.

I have found it in the AutoZone close to my home in SE Houston area.

Which AutoZone was this? Hope it's the Ridgecrest one...

Sorry, it's the Victorville CA store (on Palmdale Road).

By the way, so far, about two tanks of fuel with the Stanadyne: seems to be increasing mpg a bit. I'll get back to you after a few more fill-ups.

I use Stanadyn in my Cummins marine application, I use it in my Duramax, I have heard a injector repair shop recommend it. I asked my VW repair place, a well recommended foreign auto location, not a dealer, and they are not encouraging me to use the product on a regular basis, was unsure of Stanadyn “and not a fan of regular additives”. He was concerned that the injector pump would not “be happy” with this product. It’s a 08 V10, new to me with 66 thousand miles or so on it, averaging around 21 MPH, over all, on and off highway. (not off road) GEAT CAR! Any thoughts?

Just found this on the Stanadyne site, so evidently mine was no fluke:

Since that is Stanadyne's official website for their additive, I'm leaning towards your detection being a false positive.

But that's doesn't mean the website itself was not infected. A common source of viruses being loaded onto computers is from websites, or even just their ads, being infected. If you feel there may be a problem with their site, take a screenshot of the detection and send them a copy.

Copa, what specifically does it list as the virus or trojan?

I visited that link with a Windows box running FreeAVG, nothing mentioned. Chrome and Firefox didn't complain on Windows or Linux, either. Doesn't mean other software won't complain or that there isn't really a problem, though.

Doh, I'm running Avast. I don't use Windows very often...

Ah ha, as suggested by a google search result, the source HTML for that page does have lots of spam links, about Viagra and such. That's a positive result for infection!

That's strange because when I look at the page source using Firefox, I don't see any of that. The only links I see that direct you to other sites are for places like Facebook, Youtube, Twitter, etc. All of which relate to their product.

I even checked it without my ad-block and no-script add-ons enabled and still don't see anything wrong.
