I haven't run anything diesel in a long time. Back in the day Power Service was always used, that or a mix of 60% #2 and 40% #1 depending on the number of degrees below zero.

Finished my installation of Diesel Air Heater this afternoon.
It fired up within 15 seconds , and 15 minutes later i could of been in shorts inside Van . And it was 22 degrees outside with 30 mph winds . I think it will be nice waking up after a good nights sleep during Winter months going forward....
Money not Miles

Whether you drive a Sprinter, Str8 or T/T you need a Espar out here. You can get by with similar products but I prefer Espar.
In my Sprinter I've got the D4. I thought about a D5 but Brian said it was too much for a small space .

D5 is serious. It's for the large motor coaches, city busses, sailboats in the 40-55 foot range.
The D2 will keep a Sprinter type van plenty warm. Lots of D2s in Sprinters prove that. But it will work harder than a D4. Where the D2 might spend most of its time on Medium and High, the D4 in the same vehicle will spend most of the time at Low and Medium.
And as a result, over its lifetime the D4 consumes less fuel than the D2. It's not a big hairy whole dramatic lot, but it makes the cost difference between the two about a wash over 5 years.

Also with the 4's spending most of the time on low and medium they are quieter.
Since I've swapped out my D4 into my current Sprinter, which is well insulated, it's spends most of it's time on low.
I frequently find myself checking that it's actually running as it's so quiet

I heard about that on the radio, but forgot to check it out. Thanks for the reminder
Moot has another shot at a big payday
My E 350 van had just over 300,00 when I sold it, my F 250 which I still have is just over 400,000 always used Howes.
I had one of those for a while. It was 20 degrees outside and in a van with no insulation, I was able to sleep in my undies and T-shirt lol. It was so warm and toasty up in that van. I will definitely get one again if I ever drive again.
A few thousand more class action lawsuits and I can retire! I've been involved in several. None have paid much but I believe one should join. If not for the meager payout, it does send a message to the offending party.
They got one now for Omeprazole causing kidney failure and chronic kidney disease. I'm on that and 3 days before they removed my gallbladder my kidney function went down to 43. Maybe I should get in on the action lol. Kidney function is almost back to normal though but I also stopped taking that med and started on Pepcid.
Brian at Espar told me that Howes while it does keep the fuel from gelling up, it puts a flim over/around the fuel filter. He recommends Powerservice.
2 years later, I got my settlement today.Submitted my claim.
I feel a $1.99 settlement coming my way
More then I hoped for $96.01
