I had been looking and looking for a easy to use quality fuel additive. Came across this stuff and I'm very pleased. I've used it in my Mahindra and New Holland.
Super simple!!!! It is winter time, so I just dumped the whole bottle in, and filled the tank. Noticed less smoke on initial start up and less clattering at idle. In my eyes it was money well spent, and I will continue to use it throughout the seasons.

You should also be using a Biocide

I generally never add anything, but this season im adding power service. No snow, so im not using fuel.

The 3 that I use and always have used, not only in the tractors but my big truck with it's 3406 Cat as well. Today, a certified by the EPA biocide is almost mandatory and far as I can tell, Bio-Kleen is the only EPA certified biocide on the market. Easy to tell as well. Just look at any bottle of diesel additive that touts itself as a biocide and see if there is an MSDS cautionary label attached 'as required by Federal Law'. No label means no biocide added. Real simple actually and you don't ever want to get microbial growth in your diesel as it's very expensive to remedy. I know, been down that road in the past and it wasn't a cheap date so buy the biocide and use it with every tank of fuel. I keep more than one bottle of it on hand all the time and the dosage per gallon of diesel is small so a bottle goes a long way.

When it comes to microbe prevention, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.

Never seen it around here, just Bio-Kleen. If it has the registration number, it's legit.
I use Power Service Bio-Kleen, but don't recall seeing JF Biobor for sale where I buy additive.

I have not idea how to judge one biocide against another. We don't have biodiesel here and just buy regular Ultra Low Sulfur at the pump for all our diesels.

What led you to the brand that you use? Have you tried different types?

Don't matter if it's bio-diesel or not, all on road and off road ULSD is algae prone today, especially when it sits for an extended time, unused in a vessel with an air space and in temperature changes.

I went on the Biobore website and it is EPZ certified and you can buy it on Amascon and I may give it a try when my Bio-Kleen supply runs low.

Never seen it for sale around here in any brick and mortar store however. You can buy it in quantities up to a gallon but ot's not a cheap date.

It's produced by the Hammond Oil company btw.
