Check on TDR or NW-Bombers.
There are some guys that are religious with additives in every tank, usually injector cleaner/pump lubricant. Didn't sound like it was anything you could pick up at Napa or Schucks though.

Love that TOYOTA
Hows about the lucas oil stuff?
I ran some in my Jeep (GAS) and it made the motor run better, but it idled high while it had the additive in it. I stopped using it because of that, but I have heard other people swear by it.

That's the stuff that most of the NWBombers guys recommended. Several guys said they ran it every tank for a 1-2mpg improvement. I ran it for a few tank fulls and I didn't really notice much of a difference. I can buy it locally at H&H Diesel in Fife, but haven't gotten down there lately to get any more.

Diesel. :redneck: Which reminds me, fuel light came on this morning so I guess I need to add some. This 600 miles on a tank is gonna ruin me, just like my cell phone which goes for over a week on a charge that I keep forgetting to charge.crash said:
I would say it is, since North America has the lowest grade of diesel in world. That is why so many car manufacturers dont produce their diesel models in the US. ex. VW (and I hate this company a lot) had to re-enginer thier V-10 and 4cyl diesel for US production. I guess our diesel is that much worse that it can actually damage an imported diesel engine.Boomer said:
I believe you are correct on it being the sulfer content. But wouldnt an additive providing cleaning agents as well as cetane provide some advantage to offset this? Its been a while since I worked around diesels. I used to work in a bus garage for the big yellows.
The low sulphur diesel and Ultra Low Sulphur(spelling?) diesel both do a poor job of lubricating the injectors etc. Stanadyne and other additives help make your engine and fuel system parts last longer by increasing the lubrocity (word?) of the fuel. I used to use stanadyne...hated it cause it was messy, smelly, and a pain to have to add to every tank.
I run B100 biodiesel so I no longer need to run an additive:clappy:

Buddy that I work with is using this http://www.ethos1marketing.com/. Ran it in my work car and it got me 3-5 mpg's. He has been doing some testing and the results have not come back yet, thats all I can say at this time. He put it in his mom's car and she got better mpg than I did. We put 4 oz. in 1st tank and 4 oz in the crank case. Been adding 1 oz. per tank and the best I have gotten is 5 mpg on 1 tank.
