Rotella Fuel Additive

I can find Rotella Oil at Wal Marts around the places I frequent, but can't find Rotella Fuel Additive. The same goes for the local auto stores around my area.

Do most of your Wal Marts carry both the oil and the additive?

I have a case of Red Line, but it's kind of expensive and somewhat a hassle to have to order, unless that is, it's really that much better.

What other places carry Rotella Fuel Additive?

I haven't tried truck stops yet, is that a good place to look? Do truckers use that stuff? Seems out of the way, but, maybe it's worth the effort.

My local Wal Mart carries the Rotella Diesel Fuel Additive, they just got it in the other day. In fact I almost bought a 96 ounce bottle of it today, but instead I am sticking with the Power Service stuff.
Might want to check back and see if your local Wal Marts are carrying the diesel additive now that it is getting colder out.

Truck stops will have a good selection, but probably not RedLine. PowerService, DieselPurge, and generic. All will work, some better than others, for cleaning and cetane improvement, and all will work to prevent fuel gelling. Seems like it's going to be a cold winter, keep something on hand for those days when the temp drops suddenly and you are not sure of your fuel...

I am definately dumping in some power service every fill up this winter, even though they go to diesel 1 in the winter here.

Oh yeah, I paid 1.299 lastnight yet again, gas was 1.319! 27 mpg short trips in the city.
