I am from the mindset of preventative maintenance in all my toys. I run Stabil Ethanol in all my gas toys (ATV,Boat,Chainsaw,etc..) I have never had a fuel system problem by doing so and the cost is nominal.
Does anyone run a Diesel additive all year long??

I use to use Powerservice just in winter, but this year have been adding it to every fill-up.Can't hurt and it doesn't cost that much.In my gas engines(7) I am trying a new product(to me) called Startron.I have used Stablil for years with good results.

Stabil Marine in all my small gas engines and PowerService in my diesels.
Both year-round.
Stabil 'cause that ferschlugginner ethanol is in the gas year-round.
I read that the low sulpher diesel needs lubricity additives that get added locally, so I'm using the PowerService as insurance that Zippy didn't forget to add the right amount of lubricity stuff at the distributor before filling the tank truck.

I have used Stanadyne Performance Formula Diesel Fuel Additive in all my diesels, each time I refuel I add. Never had a problem either way.

I think you need to put a shield around that tractor so the shine doesn't damage someone's retina. Did you really use tire black on the plastic gage wheels?
