[C320-list] ULSD additives

[BAdams3491 at aol.com]

It is not necessary to add anything to ULSD.  The additives  put in when 
manufactured make up for any lubrication that was provided in  LSD.  In 
addition to my Yanmar, I just sold a one ton Chevy pick up with  the Duramax 
diesel and have an 8.9 Cummins turbo diesel in a motor home.   Both do fine on 
plain ULSD fuel.
 
The only additives I use are Sta-Bil and a biocide when preparing  the boat 
to sit all winter.

I use  the same Diesel Kleen stuff as Karl and have replaced the biocide  
with
Startron.  I never have visible exhaust, and only a small bit of

gunk in the primary filter bowl.  I've yet to hear  anything negative re.
Startron.  Works for me.  2,000 hrs. on a  Perkins.

I use Power Service Diesel Kleen (available in most Auto  Supply stores and 
 
WalMart) to add lubricity as well as FPPF Killem  as a bactericide.
We are still able to get the "red" low sulfur diesel at  marinas and at the 
 
"off road" pumps here in my area of NC.
I add  the lubricity additive anyway, even though it is not the ULSD fuel.
