Started putting my Nicktane filter on several days ago and to quit after mounting the bracket and can. Strained my shoulder and neck muscle, to much sttretching for this old man. Anyway yesterday i decided to give it another go and finiusg\hed the job. Filled the can with diesel fuel, screwed it on, started the truck without priming and have driven it about 60 miles with no miss. Contrary to a couple of inputs from others, I didn't see/feel any difference in the way it run. Got a cou[ple jugs of CITGO " MYSTIK DIESEL FUEL CONDITIONER" and will start using it the next time I tank up. Have close to 4K on the truck now so hopefully early use of fuel conditioner will save me a lot of trouble/money down the road. MYSTIK may be new to a lot of you but its popular here with a lot of the small truckers(big tractors). I first tryed it years ago in my 1981 98 Olds diesel and never had a bit of trouble with it. Had a pre RACOR seperator/ filter combo on it . Used to get water every once in the while because back then steel underground tanks were common and so was water and rust and there weren't very many diesel cars on the road and no pick ups unless modified. . Even put a pet cock the on cars tank so I could drain off the water when the filter sensor showed water presence. Edited by: Bill Gisse
