Power Service

[Brooklyn Tow]

Anyone notice that Power service changed the formula to their diesel additive......It seems it doesn't have that yellowish color anymore and the oder is not as strong......it looks and smells like water.

This is the white bottle I'm referring too.....I haven't had a look at the Grey bottle yet.

I used a bottle a few days ago. had that same smell and color its had for years. Unless of course the bottle i got was old. Could you have gotten a bad bottle?

Thats what I thought......But it's been the last 2 or 3 bottles from 2 different stores.

Are you buying the gallon jugs or the smaller one?

I buy the gallons and havent noticed any difference in smell/color.

The smaller jugs....32oz. I think?

The older Power Service white bottles were anti-gel only. The newer bottles have cetane added. I think that is the difference.

The newer Power Service looks a lot like the Howe's additive.

They were also advertising a $4.00 mail in rebate on a large white bottle.

Just dumped some in today and it seems the same (from the 250 jug - 80 oz I think). I bought it last Oct-Nov at $8.13/jug though.

Just had the same thot recently. Looks like water. Clear, almost odorless.
Now using the gray bottle.

I buy by the gallon.

I never purchase the white bottle, it does me no good down here.

I do get the grey every now and again. :thumbsup:
