As already stated, the 911 is for an already gelled tank.
I run Power Service year round, gray/white bottles.
Any brand has its pros and cons.
Around here Power Service is all I can find.
However, I have been told that diesel engines prior to around 2001 should use some additive, or even mix in some bio-diesel, as the low sulfer diesel has lost its lubricity for the fuel system--pumps, injectors, etc. Therefore, if running diesel straight from the pump in an earlier diesel, one will get premature fuel system failure.
The fuel just doesn't have the lubricity it once did due to EPA, etc.
Supposedly, the newer engines, around 2001 or so and up, are designed to run with the lower lubricity fuels.
I am not a chemist, nor am I Rudolf Diesel. This is simply what I heard from several sources, and I care to err on the side of caution and run an additive year round. This may be correct, or it may be incorrect info.
Just thought I'd share. I'm not sayin one way or another, just sharin what I heard.
