I pushed that little Chevy diesel to over 450,000 with no more engine repairs. I'll toot Power Service's horn any day, it works as described to me.
I'd save the small empty bottles from gas line de-icer (like Heet) and pour my mixture in them then add one bottle to each side tank.
Big thanks to Patriot76, and now Mechanic688. I used to use "Howes" as an additive and anti-gel for my F350. Quit the Howes and tried Power Service in my latest fill up.
It was cold this morning and my truck had a much easier start and no smoke. I'm sold on Power Service now too.
Unfortunately I just purchased a case of Howes. Guess who's step-son is getting a case of Howes for Christmas?
And mech could you explain the mix of tranny fluid??? Tranny fluid in the fuel???
