We had a diesel truck in the shop the other day and I asked the two owners if they ever put conditioner in the fuel and they looked at me like I was from space. So I asked if they used it in their tractors and their response was " whats it supposed to do?" I have used diesel fuel conditioner that is designed to clean injectors, remove moisture and lube the pump, used it for many years in the diesel engines. I also ocassionally add a quart of oil to a tank of diesel fuel for extra potential energy and pump lube. I have had a tractor dealer also recommend a quart of automatic transmission fluid to a tank of fuel. ATF will remove moisture in the system. It is no secret that trucking companies process their used motor oil and add it to the fuel tanks..anywhere from 5-10 % of the volume of the fuel. This gives more power and is an economical way to turn used motor oil into fuel. I am curious about what you fellows do in terms of diesel engine fuels. Incidentally I have added a few gallons of gasoline to the diesel fuel when its -27* Celsius. Northern Ontario truckers often add gasoline so the fuel won't gel. I'm interested in your thoughts....Mike in Exeter Ontario
