best fuel additive for our tractors?

[murffrompcola]

Recently bought a 92 model B 5200 and was wondering what is a good diesel fuel additive to run in it for preventative maintenence. I run offroad fuel and live in FL so gelling is not an issue for me. Just wanted to see what some of you other guys are running. Thanks for the input.

sea foam in all tractors and trucks.

Ditto on seafoam. I also run it in my motorcycle, it cleans the carbs or injectors for gas or diesel.

I don't know about sea foam fuel additive but, I've seen what it does to the insides of automatic transmissions. If I saw someone putting it in my transmission, I'd shoot him on the spot.

why would you put it in automatic transmissions any how. just wondering.if it was that bad why is not hurting my motors.01'freightliner 3406e c15 caterpillar 515hp 828,000 03'dodge cummins 157,000 on the odometers never had any problems with either truck

I use the same, 12 months of the year. Never a hiccup from the engine.

stevt l, Seafoam makes an additive for auto transmissions. That's what i was refering to.

If gelling isn't a issue plain old ATF or marvelle mystery oil is hard to beat. Ran a 3406 Cat engine for 11 yrs (25,000 hrs) and used ATF in every tank of fuel. Never had a fuel related problem.

Guys, there was a lenghty thread on this very subject last year, with the first post on 2/14/10. If I did things right, the link below will take you to it.

i put 5gallons in my bulk tanks when they deliver fuel(2 500gallon tanks).

Finally, I knew that I couldn't be the only one here at OTT using ATF in a diesel.
