Diesel Fuel Additive
 

As a new diesel engine owner (Volvo KAD32) I'm curious about what additives
folks use (if any). One of the guys in the office swears by the Power
Service brand. Recommendations?

@#@ Been D.mechanic for years find any additive just an scam. Save your
money.The only thing we use is antigel in the winter.

Where do you live?
How long will the fuel be in the tank between fills?

In the south, we worry about bio-slime growth if the fuel stays over a
month, in the north they worry about gel, if you don't use the boat
much, you need to worry about deterioration. If you live in the south,
burn a tank a month, and always fill after use then nothing is needed.

Personally, I used to use bio-bor if I didn't plan to burn the fuel for
a couple months. I then switched to Pri-D, now my fuel delivery company
has their own additive that is the same as pri-D so I don't use anything.
