RE: Drews Brew... Explained. (Read Me FAQ)
PS does have added lubrication, owever I did notice that without the MMO my engine ran a bit rougher. and MMO ashing as it burns, this would be the first I have heard about this.
your second question, most of the lubrication in the fuel is burned dureing the combustion cycle, what is left over is in the form of smoke and just goes out the tail pipe.

Has anyone ever compared PSD with Howes Diesel Treat? I have used that for years and it seems that it may be the same product. I saw someone lamenting over having to buy PSD at Wall Mart and the Howes is available at most truck stops and stations with diesel.
I don't mind switching if PSD is better, just wondering if it is or not.

I'm new to diesel, so after studying the contents of Drews Brew, I am left wondering if I run Shell's Premium Diesel aren't I getting the same benefits as adding this brew to regular diesel?
See this article about premium diesel having higher cetane number: "Premium diesel has additives to improve CN and lubricity, detergents to clean the fuel injectors and minimize carbon deposits, water dispersants, and other additives depending on geographical and seasonal needs."
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cetane_number
In Austin, TX our Shell stations offer us two choices:
B20 or Premium Diesel. The B20 test results show a cetane of 59.6 which according the the above article adding any more cetane is pointless.
