    I will sometimes use Power Service Diesel Kleen…not often, maybe twice a year. I noticed less smoke on my previous coach (2006 XLII chassis) after I started using it. My current coach has aftertreatment, so it doesn’t smoke that I can see, but I still dump a bottle or two in per year.

    I am not very concerned about biocide in todays fuel as it is refined much more than it used to be, and if you buy at stations that pump lots of fuel, there is less of a chance of getting old fuel, or water mixed with the fuel. My bus is parked every year from mid October until late April and I have never had an issue.

    I’ve added a biocide at every fill up for years and fill at high volume stops. Never had a fuel problem.
