I always thought it was just a scam to get your money. About two years ago it was cold as heck out. I was at the local JD dealer anyway and need to get some diesel conditioner/anti gel for the pickups. I picked up a quart just to try it out.
My high mileage Dodge pickup, over 400K, runs smoother with the additive in it. The odometer has not worked in years, it quit at 389,000 miles, but the speedo still works. So I do not have concrete evidence that the mileage is any better but it does run smother.
On the newer fuel rail systems I have not noticed any difference. It is mainly the older conventional injections systems that seem to do better when using it.
I have switched to using it rather than winter blend fuel. Each gallon treats over 400 gallons of fuel for about 8 cents. This is cheaper than K-1 and much less power loss.
I have used Howles and Lucas and did not notice any difference other than it did not gel. Engines ran the same.
I also bought a JD 4020 that the governor was hanging in the injection pump. It would not always start. You had to work the throttle a few times to get it to open. I put a heavy dose of the JD lub/additive in it. After a few tank fulls it is running fine. Now is it just being used more or did the additive work??? I can't tell you 100% but it seems like the additive is helping.
