ULSD Fuel additives - ronmarabito2002 - 06-10-2008 13:19 I use a product called "Clean Fire" and it is sold direct from the source. It is expensive, but is concentrate. One ounce treats 12 gallons of diesel, so it will last a long time. http://www.cleanfire.net/product/ It was recommended to me by Gulf States Filter company that I used to represent. Since we do not use our coaches all the time, and do quite a bit of stop and go, consider the oil change intervals for Severe use. On a Detroit 6V or 8V92, that is 6000 miles. You can adjust that upwards if the pattern in oil analysis indicates no damage would occur. If you added a by-pass filter, you could increase your oil change intervals significantly. R.E.

Every fuelline or Ipump issue is now going to be blamed on new fuels. what was the reason prior to ulsd? I have always added ATF fluid to my diesel fuel when I think of it. I have driven over 20k with no issues in a 92 cummins N14 W/350,000 miles on the clock. I know of dirt haulers (old rigs) who have driven many more miles with no additives and no issues. I guess it cant hurt to buy and drop additives. if they burn like fuel you get back $5.00 per the gallon. I drop the used crankcase oil in the fuel tank (1g,oil/100g,fuel to 2/100) for a $50.00 refund. Dirty Filters were a warning sign I looked for with the ulsd additive promo campaigns. , I have only replaced three fuel filters in 200,000 miles they were replaced in a one week period. it seems as dirty filter issues happen in a series untill the tank contaminants are loaded in the filter. I dont treat fuel filters as a maintenance item and only replace at issue. 20 filters not bought at 36.15 per =$723.00 in my pocket.
