I just bought a quart of Shell Rotella DFA (diesel fuel additive) today at Walmart. Using one quart in 50 gallons of fuel is equivalent to mixing #1 and #2 half and half. It also increases the Cetane rating by 3 points, removes moisture, prevents rusing, lubricates the pump, cleans the injectors, makes starting easier, prevents gelling, and a host of other things. You can use it at twice that rate in severe weather. EVERY drop of diesel I burn is treated with DFA year round. You figure it up about $4 fro 50 gallons amounts to about 8 cents a gallon for all those benefits. I have NEVER had to rework an injector pump in my life. You can buy lots of DFA for the repair money you are risking without it.
