Diesel fuel buyers...where do you fill up?

[cde21]

QT or this joint by the house. I like turning it on and fillin it up. I hate when I go somewhere and it cuts off at 75 or 100 bucks. It's 3.49 around me.

I have a 2000 7.3 and I alwas add about 16oz of 50/50 mixed outboard 2smoke oil and power service to each fill up. Done this for about 5yrs now.

Sent from my not soo far away Galaxy...

Did you buy a TDI?

[1carcrazyguy]

Yep... We had decided against it but at the last possible minute we decided to give the TDI a shot.

What does the 2 cycle oil do?

Lubrication, I use 1qt per 25 gallons every other tank. Use the TW3 Ash-less you may also notice a slight increase in millage too.

Never noticed a difference in mileage after using diesel kleen in a 7.3, cummins or my Tdi's. I do however still use it.

Congrats, doesnt vw have like a 100k mileage they take care of all the service required? Can't beat that if so.

It use to be 3yr/36k. Now I think its 2/24.

[1carcrazyguy]

The 13's had 3yr/36k "no charge service". The 14's went to 2yr/24k service. But they all have 5yr/60 power train warranty like most other brands. We had a CRV that we put 55k on in 2 years. So we bought the TDI and then bought the 5yr/100k mile "bumper to bumper". Never bought a warranty before but not sure what to expect from a VW so figured it might be worth it.

It is surprising how much room they have inside and the mpg's are really nice! Only has 500 miles on it but the computer (not 100% accurate I know) shows 42.8 with a combo of city and highway.

'01 Excursion 7.3, 4X4, 140k miles

Mostly Wal-Mart, or H-E-B if I'm in Austin. Filled up a few weeks ago at WM for ~$3.60/gal. I use Diesel Kleen every other tank, and it definitely boosts my mileage. Generally I only drive it if I'm going to Austin or further, so it's easy to keep track of.

i have a 2012 f250. running a bully dog GT tuner. should i be adding some sort of additive? if so what?

[1carcrazyguy]

So far diesel Kleen seems to be the additive of choice. Some say every tank and others say every once in a while?

yikes @ the GT

with that said, I would run a lubricity additive. Power Service in the gray/silver bottle is the best mix of increased lubricity and ready availability that I've found
