your take on this diesel additive test?

[RalphVa]

I'd think this only applies to older tractors not designed for ULSD. Newer tractors likely have fuel pumps where the impellers never fully touch each other.

I'm using B5 not, mainly because it's almost the same price as B0. It plugged up the fuel filter on the Benz after about 3 tankfuls. That was the finding from those who have used biodiesel and written about it. It cleans out the crude from the tank and sends it to the fuel filter. No problem on the tractor. Its not as old as the Benz and maybe didn't have much of a buildup of the petro sludge.

I have not used Diesel adds per say in over 13 years...I only use MMO for lube issues with the new diesel fuel..

Outside of that nope..I used PS at times before until I did UOA...No more..

I'm guessing MMO is Marvel Mystery Oil? According to the test attached to the original post MMO caused INCREASED wear.

Can you tell us about what the UOA said and how Power Service affected it?

BJN- PS had more wear in my engine then MMO..For me, there is no need for PS; then again I only start at -20 F..

Even my 131 said non-2007 Comp but this is a tractor and you need to play with ratios. Again, for me I would NEVER use PS again based on my UOA. YMMV

So your using MMO as a 'Diesel Additive' ?

I wonder if the 10% bio they add in my pumps is enough to handle the 'lack of lubricity' issue ?

You only need 2% IIRC

 

[Willl]

IIRC

Excuse my ignorance, what's IIRC ?

I am using it to make a smoother engine...In my autos it gain some nice MPG..

I do not use it for a cetane boost, winter deal etc.
