If you look back on here you"ll probably find hundreds of discussions about this very thing. That aside, I"ll say this. Between myself and my Dad we"ve been doing business with the same fuel/pump shop for more than 20 years, and needless to say you don"t do business with folks that long without trusting them. That said, I"ve had many conversations with the guy"s in the shop about this very subject, and what I"m told is that if your not running additive, of some kind, your just asking for trouble.

After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
