Diesel Fuel Prices... :(

[theGinsue]

I bought a new Honda Civic with traction control a couple of months ago. It won't drive in the winter as well as a Subaru, but it wasn't nearly as expensive as one either. It's still a lot better than my Celica was though. I've been driving it through this minor stuff so far to keep from putting more miles on & burning the diesel in my F250. So far, so good. I still need to take the F250 for a spin once/week to keep things from failing. Eventually the tank is going to run dry. I just hope diesel starts working it's way back down.

Thanks to those who recommended Howes in the diesel thread last year. I was getting headaches from the "Power Service" fluid, but the Howes really doesn't have an odor. So long as I don't gel up, I'll be okay. Question to you with more diesel experience than
I have: Does gelled diesel fuel un-gel once the outdoor temperature rises, or does it remain gelled?

Mix in a little MMO to quiet the injectors.

?? MMO? What's that?

Snake oil. Wonder whiz, Jammin juice. But it works for me. 12oz PS and 4oz MMO in (almost) every tank. Unless I ran out.

I'll have to try it out. My 6.0l (yeah, I know, NOW; but nobody said anything before I bought the damned thing) has had some injector issues which have cost me mega bucks so far.

With the (reported) loss of lubricity in the ULSD fuels, I think it's important to add some back in to save the pumps and injectors.

Never used the Howes, heard (on the intarwebz) it has vegie oil products in it and has gummed some rigs up.

I know what you mean about the PS smell. Damn near makes me feel like it's triggered a migraine when I get a whiff.

Its my fault, I bought a diesel so of course the price goes up...thats my kinda luck! Never driven a diesel in these cold temps, but mine does not like the cold. Been fueling up at Costco, haven't looked at the price as the pump stops at 100.00 and that usually just gets me close to full. This thing does not like the cold at all. Plugged in over night not bad on start up, but sitting 12 hours in the parking lot at work and it barely starts, packed the jumper cables just in case! Going to have to try the MMO in there, I just poured some diesel kleen gray bottle in there last week, should have tried the white.

Anybody using Stanadyne?

I tried Stanadyne followed the directions on bottle and the next day my check engine light came on, I checked the code and had to replace my maf sensor. Maybe a coinsidence but haven't used it again.

Not sure if it remains gelled or not once it warms up but in the event you gel up this will get you up and running

Diesel will un gel once it warms up. You can either heat up under the fuel tank or out it in heated garage or wait for temps to rise. Might need to change the fuel filter.
