I've never seen this one before though it has been around since 2007.
I sort of figured Power Service would have faired better.
FYI.

Not to sound....let's see, how should I say this - ? Not to sound like a broken record, or a know-it-all on fuel additives --- But here ya go: "I told you so"! Power Service is a great marketing company - that's there specialty and they do good at it. There product is far from the best - If you ever do a burn test, which I believe I have as a video - just need to find it ---- their product burns very "dirty", nor does it truely encapsulate water/moisture and actually "burn" it! That's right, I said burn water.......It can be done.

I've written before about a consulting job I did for NC DOT, related to diesel fuel issues they had --- It was a huge learning experience, and the results as to the industries best fuel additives was surprising.

I wrote up some info on it in the past, and included it in a thread...sadly a few wanted to debate if "algae" can "really" grow in diesel fuel - the key point to the information was side-tracked, and it became to frustrating to attempt a debate with friends that think they know it all, regardless of facts presented........Reminds me why I stopped practicing law!

OK - There I said it.......wow that feels good.
