I watched a very interesting 20 minute video comparing different fuel conditioners on YouTube this morning. Surprising too, some I'd never heard of did very well, while other more popular brands did rather poorly. The video is well worth watching, but here's the gist of it-

This test was cetane rating-

This was the lubricity test-

Anti-gel test-

I don't remember this one, but all the fuel was frozen for 24 hours at -38 degrees fahrenheit then treated.

And this was the final test results-

One thing I would add, CFPP is a critical test (cold filter plug Point).  Testing frozen fuel -wax - is a waste.  You want to treat fuel Before it starts to build wax.

Once you have wax, kero is best to add, that is if you can find anyone who sells kerosine.

Best bet, buy your fuel from a good source that for sure has diesel that has been treated at the terminal.  And don't depend on straight N0. 2 heating oil.

Some will say only thing between heating oil and diesel is that heating oil is dyed red to avoid tax cheaters using it on road.  That is true, but good "road diesel" or "Off Road-dyed diesel will have cold flow additives in it.

Bet you watched Project Farm's video, I saw it pop up but haven't watched it yet. He's usually really good at these tests, it made me confident in the oil I was using for my Hemi. I've heard Hot Shots being recommended around here, seems for a good reason.
