Sully and the rest of the guys convinced me to order the Terapump too. It’s coming tomorro, can’t wait. In addition, I’m going to try hot shots diesel extreme and follow Sully every third 5gallon jug utilization. Currently using the JD diesel winter treatment all year round. Will continue along with periodic hot shots.
Enhancing the quality of the diesel fuel is always a good idea in my opinion. Basically, override everything the EPA has done to "help us" and by adding the lubricity to the fuel as well as enhancing its cetane rating, it makes the fuel burn better, make more power, produce less smoke and lubricate the injector pump and fuel system components.
As tractor owners, we can each choose our own path on such matters. I know from my racing days how critical fuel quality is and I also know the benefits of reducing friction in rotating assemblies, like injector pumps as well as the entire engine assembly.

I ran my original under floor filter and in the fuel separator filter past 400 hours and they both didn't appear as nasty as I have seen some pictured here on GTT with as little as 100 hours or less on them. I also never had a problem with the fuel system on either machine except the one time I ran out of fuel in the middle of the road and had to make the walk of shame.........
Just like some people can eat anything and not have cholesterol or weight issues (Mrs. Bear is one of those....) others have to be pretty diligent about what goes in to get the most back out in terms of performance, good health, etc. I am a believer in treating all fuel year around and also only buying premium, "Dino" diesel and avoiding the Bio-diesel blends.
I bet you are going to notice less smoke and the engine handles the power loads better with the fuel system cleaned and the increased cetane and other benefits of the fuel treatment. Also, your tractor's fuel economy should improve over time, I know my tractor has and I monitor it........
Please don't hesitate to send me a PM or Conversation or whatever they are called, if you have any questions about the fuel additives, etc. Always glad to help when I can...............
On another note, I see our GTT legend, Levi is coming to Michigan. Hope you have a safe trip, my friend and enjoy your time with family and friends........
