When Al Kramer mixed up the first batch of Power Service Diesel Fuel Supplement in his garage in 1956, he knew he was onto something. It simply worked better than anything he had seen during his years as a chemist for a major oil company.

Al’s son, Ed Kramer, helped market Power Service, taking it directly to the truckers who needed it. With a simple shaker test in the parking lot of a local truckstop, he put Power Service up against the leading diesel fuel additives. The results were undeniable. Power Service simply dispersed water faster and more completely than anything on the market. The truckers took note and so did the truckstop owner who agreed to carry the product.

When Ed took over management of the business in 1971, he had only one product to sell. He knew that a strong national distributor network was essential to the company’s growth and success, so he used the same resourcefulness he showed early on in his career, and immediately began securing new warehouse distributors. By 1976, Power Service Diesel Fuel Supplement was available coast-to-coast, and by 1981 was the nation’s best seller — a title we still hold today.

The distribution network in place, Power Service then began developing diesel-fuel treatments to meet the needs of major fleets wanting reliable winter-fuel operability at a low per-gallon treatment cost. About that same time, premium diesel fuel sales were just taking off, so Power Service started developing products to give fuel-jobbers and truckstops the competitive edge they needed for premium fuel sales.

Today, Power Service Products of Weatherford, Texas, offers a complete line of diesel fuel additives. What started over 50 years ago in a small, one-car garage has grown into one of the industry’s biggest and most endearing success stories. Power Service Products is a recognized leader in diesel fuel additive technology — a company dedicated to giving more power to you.

Power Service Products is America’s largest manufacturer of technologically advanced diesel fuel additives. Power Service manufactures a complete line of diesel additives that address all of the issues associated with today’s broad range of diesel fuels. Our products have been formulated to provide trouble-free winter operation as well as year-around diesel engine performance improvement from all diesel fuels, including Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel (ULSD) fuel and biodiesel. New, more powerful antigels protect diesel engines from the fuel problems caused by bitter cold while +Cetane Boost® increases power and improves fuel economy. Slickdiesel® Lubricator is a proprietary Power Service diesel fuel lubricator that protects fuel pumps and injectors from the accelerated wear rates caused by ULSD.

Our 26-acre corporate facilities are located in Weatherford, Texas, and include Power Service’s corporate offices, a 1.3 million gallon bulk chemical plant, testing and research laboratories, and a highly automated chemical packaging warehouse. These modern facilities utilize the latest technologies to quickly and accurately process product orders to our 1,000-plus warehouse distributors, retailers and original equipment manufacturers serving the trucking, automotive, agriculture, marine, construction and mining industries worldwide. Additionally, Power Service proudly supplies diesel fuel additives to the United States federal government, including the armed forces, throughout this country and the world.

In 2006, the EPA mandated that refiners transition to nationwide delivery of Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel (ULSD) fuel. ULSD contains less than 15 ppm sulfur and allows emissions on 2007 and newer diesel engines to be the most environmentally friendly engines ever produced. While emissions are greatly reduced, ULSD ushers in newer operational challenges for the diesel engine operator. These challenges include accelerated wear rates on fuel injectors and pumps requiring the use of Slickdiesel® Lubricator technology. The poor cold temperature operability of ULSD demands the more robust antigel chemistry of Diesel Fuel Supplement® + Cetane Boost®. Fuel injectors will foul more quickly — a problem easily solved by Diesel Kleen® +Cetane Boost®— and instability caused by long-term storage will necessitate the use of Clear-Diesel® Fuel & Tank Cleaner.
