I Believe it has been said to use the "white" bottle year round...... But if true Why?

Wouldn't the "grey" bottle be the one to use year round??

OR...... Don't use any additives at all?

Picture attached of the various additives.

Because the white bottle protects against gelling and the grey bottle product does not. The Power Service web site does a good job describing it for us neophytes. And their recommendations. We elected for just white bottle and Bio Kleen to protect against algae. This was once we saw evidence of both problems. We have no bulk storage, just fill out of 5 gallon cans as needed. Put additive in 5 gallon cans as we fill them after having cleaned and treated fuel tank on tractor first time.

Good luck

We use the grey in the summer and white in the winter we don't use bio because we use the fuel within 30 of getting the tanks filled. I have used the bio in some of the machines that don't get run much but only to their individual tanks. Power service is good to go. ;)
