Rotella DFA ?
 
Saw the Rotella Diesel Fuel Additive on sale at the local Walmart, $3 per quart. Seems less expensive than comparable products. Wonder if anyone has experience or opinion on this product.

Whether the product is good or not, the design of the bottle is laughable. Short centered spout which is prone to spill. And why bother to put the remaining volume indicator on the side of an opaque bottle?

I've used DFA in the winter as anti-gel and had no problems. I've slowly learned over the years that you don't need to bother putting fuel additives in every tank, and it may actually be detrimental to the fuel system if you DO use the stuff all the time. I'd just stick a bottle of Red Line 85+ or Stanadyne in every 5-10kmi, and forget the bulk stuff (except as anti-gel in REALLY cold weather... sub-zero F.)

I personally will only use additives in the winter months, and when it is warmer I will use aditives maybe every 3 or 4 tanks just to help keep the injectors clean...

My car seems to run better and smoother since I started using DFA 12 OZ per tankful.
