This video is underrated in terms of education. Well done.

Watching from the UK, this video has been brilliantly put together, thank you!

One point of note - it would nearly put me off buying a diesel vehicle as it seemed to be aimed at all the potential issues, which of course could then be remedied or prevented by certain products 😏 but nonetheless it was very informative and so please keep up the good work 👌🏻

I bought a Kubota tractor that had been sitting in a shed for 10 years. The fuel tank had brown sludge spots in it and the water seperator/filter was coated with brown sludge. I drained the fuel, replaced the filter and filled the tank with fresh fuel and Hot Shot's EDT. From other videos I've watched, Hot Shot's EDT seems to be the best at increasing lubricity and anti-corrosion. I haven't seen any comparisons for anti-microbes, but Hot Shot's seems to be a good quality product, so I'm counting on it to protect my fuel system.

I’m here because I accidentally put r99 in my truck. I was a dumb ass. I always thought diesel was diesel. My gas cap said b20max. Never gave it a thought until I filled my tank. My truck sounded different. I don’t know if I’m just being paranoid or whatever but I truly believe it made a negative difference in my perspective. I found #2 after I used most of that tank. Seems normal now. Tell me if I’m full of shit. I truly don’t know 2017 f350

Why can’t you make a additive with sulfur to put back in diesel fuel
