Have any of you use this stuff? I can get it basically for free, good to go? I have been using Howe's diesel treat up until this point...

I used it all the time in the dually. No issues.

When I bought Teddy Bear from Darin Menards had Howes on sale. I bought a bunch for the trip east and am still using that now.

Power Service is good stuff. I’ve used it for years.

One thing to note:

White Bottle is the winter formula, it does all the stuff Power Service Grey Bottle (summer formula), but is also anti-gel......

I have a bunch of PS and Howes. Got both for pennies on the dollar. Also got some 2-cycle oil.... it’s ended up in the trucks also......

Used it for decades... switched to Howes last winter because it's less $$$
I stopped adding TCW3 to my fuel (1 oz per gallon) it caused smoking at idle.

Use that stuff every tank, the grey bottle though it's never cold enough here for winter stuff usually

I use Optilube because when I read the ratings for these products, it was one of the top ones. It was also the best bang for the buck. They say one to two Oz. per tankful. It would probably be more with a Bronco tank, though.

None that I can think, but maybe somebody smarter than me will have a reason. The only reason that I don't is that Optilube Winter Blend takes more OZ per tank so it isn't as cost effective.

Use it all the time no issues. I usually run it a little higher that recommended, old truck probably original fuel system. Wouldn't see any reason you couldn't run the winter all year, think the only difference is the anti gel additives.
