I use a product called "Clean Fire" and it is sold direct from the
source. It is expensive, but is concentrate. One ounce treats 12
gallons of diesel, so it will last a long time.

It was recommended to me by Gulf States Filter company that I used to
represent. Since we do not use our coaches all the time, and do quite
a bit of stop and go, consider the oil change intervals for Severe
use. On a Detroit 6V or 8V92, that is 6000 miles. You can adjust
that upwards if the pattern in oil analysis indicates no damage would
occur. If you added a by-pass filter, you could increase your oil
change intervals significantly.
