Thumbs down What additive do you use

I'm trying to get a consensus on what additives folks use and why. I've used a couple of different kinds. Right now I'm running bio-diesel so I'm intereseted to see how that interacts also.
Thanks in advance!

Since it's still dipping into the 40s, my current tankful is about 5-6gal of petro diesel, about 15gal of my homebrew (which was bubble washed and passed 3/27 test nicely, fully converted, no leftover unconverted oils). I also poured in about a pint of PowerService Diesel cleaner from WallyWorld. It's priced fairly and seems to do the trick.

Truck starts and runs fine, but you do have to get into the gas a bit more as biodiesel has slightly fewer BTUs per gallon...but once you're standing on it, the higher cetane value seems to really help. My EGTs are lower and my motor is much, much quieter than it is when running straight ULSD.

i use .64 ounces of diesel kleen per gallon of fuel every time i fuel. always have. throttle response is very crisp. i use it for the increased lubrication of the injection system. an added benefit is, i bet my injectors are not dirty!!!!

I use Stanadyne as well.
Right now I'm using the One Shot bottles (1 bottle does 30 gallons) and I'm saving some of the empty bottles.
I may get in on a group buy of some gallons.
