Howes diesel treatment Prevents Fuel From Gelling - Howes Diesel Treat is the nations most trusted anti-gel. Its special formula has been tested and proven time and again to prevent gelling in even the coldest weather. Owners of all types of diesel vehicles and equipment rely on the Howes familys guaranteed product to keep them going all winter long.
Adds Lubricity - Diesel Treat helps protect against todays Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel (ULSD) fuels by providing added lubricity to injectors, pumps, and upper cylinders. In doing so, it extends the life and increases the performance of diesel engines of all types.
Prevents Deposits - More than just an anti-gel, Diesel Treat also contains a specialized detergent package to help prevent fuel injector deposits. Carbon deposits on diesel injector systems can cause loss of engine power and other issues. Preventing these helps to improve performance and fuel economy, saving you money.
Removes Water - Water is abrasive to your system and can lead to fuel filter icing. Many products emulsify or mix water into the fuel, often using harmful alcohols or solvents that can do additional damage to your engine. Petroleum-based Diesel Treat demulsifies water, safely pushing it out of the fuel using no alcohol or harmful solvents.

Can Howes do for gas engines what it claims to do with diesel engines? I add Howes to my Kubota before winter. A smart Kubota dealer from Tennessee recommended.
Can Howes be used in gas engines to remove water from gas? Remove Carbon deposits inside the engine?
Add Lubricity to cylinders and valves?

If not what is the gasoline version of Howes?
 
I use Howes and have seen good results providing the fuel was good to begin with. The convenience store diesel is as bad as it gets, once it drops below zero even Howes can't help it. I buy premium ag diesel from the coop year round, and after November mix about 1/3 #1 diesel and a 64 ounce jug of Howes into 60 gallons. I turn on the block heater for an hour or two before starting, had no problems even at -20 sitting outside. I figure the Howes adds the lubricity the #1 is lacking.
 
Good question: If not what is the gasoline version of Howes?

Sorry, I can't answer, Id guess there are plenty of brands out there, check Amazon maybe ??

While Im NOT a huge believer of Snake Oil, I have had good luck with Lucas products. Good luck finding a product that works for your needs

Service calls mid winter in Iowa, always showed up with two jugs of Howe's. Semi truck dead on side of road. Remove fuel filters and dump them into a bucket. Fill both filters with Howe's and reattach to engine. Jumper cables if needed, and another jug of Howe's into each tank.

This recipe made many truckers happy!

10% ethanol gasoline has the ability to absorb all the condensation moisture likely between tank fulls. Adding anything will not help. Certainly don't put stuff in a catalytic equipped gasoline vehicle. Jim
 
Gas version of Howes is SeaFoam.

I use Howes or Power Service fuel treatments in #2 diesel and run it all winter long in ND. Read the fine print, it usually takes double the recommended amount to keep the fuel flowing when it gets real cold. I fill my transfer tank before the brunt of winter sets in. Ive been burned before by #1 fuel that really wasnt. Hate to pay the expensive price and end up with expensive results.
 
Right on Jim, I haven't had a gas line freeze since about 1980, thanks to E-10 gas! I still have a bottle of Heet on the shelf, but most of it has evaporated, without the seal ever being broken.
 
This tractor uses it year-around. This Pete has 2 million 250 thousand miles on it - The transmission or rear ends have never been apart. Full synthetic oil in the trans. and rear ends.
 
When I worked in the logging industry in the 1970's in N MN most loggers would switch to straight no 1 fuel in late October, and if you did that to all equipment you didn't need any additives. But that was way before the introduction of bio-diesel.
 
Sounds like an advertisement.

Useful for diesels. Not intended for gasoline engines.

Use the snake oil of your choice in your gasoline engines, or not.
