In Reply to: DIESEL FUEL ADDITIVE OPINION posted by HAVVEY on December 05, 2007 at 15:33:13:

Havvey: Why buy all these fancy additives, the only one product in them all that stops jelling is methyl hydrate, and you can buy pure methyl hydrate at a fraction of the cost. Methyl hydrate evaporates thus it has to be added at fill up. if you leave your diesel parked a couple of weeks the methyl hydrate will evaporate from tank, even the methyl hydrate in all those expensive additives evaporates. It will not evaporate from fuel lines, fuel filters or injection pump. If your diesel has been parked awhile, add methyl hydrate before you start it.

Ever wonder why windshield washer freezes after you haven't used it in awhile? All the methyl hydrate has evaporated. Add a bit of methyl hydrate and your washers will work in minutes. It's the same product used in lock deicers. Methyl hydrate is used to deice planes. It will take the ice or frost off your windshield far quicker than you can scrap it off.

Why keep all those additives around. The biggest benefit they give is to the retailer or manufacturer. Even Methyl hydrate can be bought at your local drug store for about 25% of what your auto parts guy charges. Some druggests get a bit uptight about non medical people buying methyl hydrate by the gallon.
