Cold weather fuel additive?

Hi everyone!

I've done some checking around here and by the way of Tank's Library, it looks like Opti Lube is the best way to go for fuel additives. It's starting to get cold here (9F this morning) so I decided I need to look for some.

What is everybody using on the new 6.4? Any personal experience would be helpful.

I use that Power Service stuff. It seems to work well, I can't not put any additive in, it's just me. But it gets and has been cold here. It's like $9 a bottle but one bottle lasts two tanks running straight diesel. (one tank if running bio). It's good stuff.

Thanks for the input, guys. I picked up a 32oz bottle of PS Diesel Kleen at O'Riley's this afternoon. It seems to be pretty popular here too. All of the gallon jugs were gone and only 2 of the 32oz bottles left.

I'm in SW Iowa and we got a nice little cold snap last night. 21:00 now and still nice and balmy at 25F.

Indianapolis Indiana. It's the bottle that treats 50 gallons of straight diesel, and has the cetane booster. It was $6 but it went up.

Power Service Diesel Fuel Supplement +Cetane Booster is what it's called.
