Doktor M.B. used to post the annual Chevron diesel fuel report, and I remember reading the section on fuel additives / cetane boosters, which is not a straight forward problem. Very few chemicals are effective, and I had the impression that the cost / benefit analysis doesn't bode well.
A couple years ago (last I checked) MB posted on the BEVO site that the only allowed fuel additives are for killing microbial growth and de-watering / anti-gel. Speaking of which, I need to de-water the tanks of my two oil burners, haven't done that yet this cold season... ------------- Max Charleston SC On Mon, Jan 11, 2016 at 12:44 PM, Dwight Giles via Mercedes < mercedes@okiebenz.com> wrote: > I know fuel additives are verboten on this list but in the winter I add a > couple ounces of Howes Diesel Treat to each tankful.
