I order mine from Amazon. BioBor jf is cheaper. For 100 gallons of fuel, you'd typically add 2.6 fl oz of Biobor JF for a 270 ppm treatment or 1.3 fl oz for a 135 ppm treatment. Elaboration: The dosage of Biobor JF depends on the desired treatment level (270 ppm or 135 ppm), and the amount of...

I usually use BioBor JF but would trust the Powerservice product as well.

Which biocide do you use?

Good plan. I've got a HF Predator 3500 that has been a good one......with a few mods. I try to run in at least every couple of months. Always has real gas and Stabil in the tank.

Not only will it lay there until it buried again, it may get replaced a couple of more times before it does get buried again! (Telephone contract work was the family business for many years.We did it all at one time or another.)

Seriously? You can't put yourself in his position and think how you would want your neighbor to treat you if you were in his position?

Really? Need more information on this.

You get a lot of blank stares when you start asking about bio percentages. Or, percentage numbers pulled out of the air. I've found many don't mark their pumps when the bio percentages are above 5%, as supposedly they are required to either. I always ask and have been told up to 10% and not...

You are correct. Anybody that sells oil and doesn't make it, buys it from those who do make it. And, it is purchased by bid. (because there is profit involved) The only way you can know who is making what for who is if you know who won the latest bid. As someone has already said...

I've had one for several years and it is still working.......probably quit tomorrow now that I posted this! HF brand.

I've just got the 1/2" and it to is a beast!!!

What year range are you calling "older"? I've got friends that use ATF in their fuel. I'm not sure what the ratio is to say 100 gallon? But 2 gallons would seem to be a lot I'm thinking.

I’ve used Optilube 2 cycle oil in my small engines for years. Best stuff there ever was! The only diesel I have now is my Volvo truck w/Cummins motor, I pull my 5th wheel with. Always use the Cummins recommended Power Service products. May have to check out the Optilube stuff though.

Bio-diesel is great stuff if you burn it out, like over the road truckers do. But don't let it sit in your tank without dosing it with a biocide of some kind. (Power Service Silver year around here. I don't operate when/where it's cold.)

Good point about how you use the bed. I do like the plastic drop in if you haul sand, gravel, dirt etc, but I'd still put a mat in it for the same reasons you mentioned. The spray-on have their draw backs as well. Stuff like red clay will embed in them and stain them. My cousin was a GMC dealer...
