Same here, every tank, except that I also add Howes Meaner Cleaner to to the Power Service to keep the fuel tank minty fresh and the injectors lemony clean.

Minty and lemony? You Sprinter folk are just so very particular, aren't you?

Haven't used any fuel additives yet. My coldest temperature was -4 degrees. If I get to places where it is colder than that, I will add some anti gelling additive. 370k on my sprinter so far. Oh, I use biodiesel whenever I find it (RaceTrac in Georgia seems to have up to 5% biodiesel).

not at all !
only anti gel when needed .

Oil company's spend million of $'s every year to develop the best cost effective brand they can ,and the oil's we have today are perfectionally engineered for the modern diesels engines ,or engine manufacturers would have demands those additives to be used. actually some additives can really hurt an engine .

even after many weeks in the diesel lab ,i have never seen a dirty injector .i think that those injector cleaners can really damaged a good injector ,by cleaning the system ,and pushing the dirt into the injector at 30,000psi. without them ,the dirt stop at the filters.

i do get my coffee with one sugar and one milk tho'w.
