| fuel treatments Is low sulfer 500 ppm the same as ulsd?
I have been running standyne and using low sulfer fuel.
my mileage is worse 11.2
when i did not use standyne my mileage was 15.1?
I have checked twice using the standyne and not using standyne.
On the bottle it say formulated for ulsd?
I live on the coast of NC
Should I only be using Standyne when we switch to ulsd?
I am so confused her guys?
I thought using the additive was a good thing?
ANy advice would be appreciated!!! |

| LSD is 500ppm, ULSD is 15ppm. They are not the same fuels. You can use your additive with either diesel fuel and you will see a benefit. I run the AMSOIL Diesel Concentrate and am very pleased with it.

| I have used Lucas but I really like FPPF fuel additive. It is sometimes hard to find though. Luckly I have 2 truck stops 5 miles from me so I can usually find it at 1 of those.
