Fleets do not use anything. Some OOs (Owner Operator) may use it, some will use some at oil change time, just because. Someone noted how much was on display at truck stops, but no one has said anything about how much they see being sold. Most truck stops also sell filters etc in the store. more and more stores are moving to non truck items, cell phones, data cards, etc, with the new trucks a lot has changed in the trucking world. And as has been noted on here the new generation truck drivers are quite different than previous generations.
The bottom line is if additives make you feel good, use em, if you like your money don't.

If the additives really made a difference, those of us in the trucking business would be buying it by the truckload!

Just answering Lee's question. The Hydro Hot Aquahot and Hurricane are really just small boilers. Engines typically need pistons , crankshafts etc. The large burner section takes the products of combustion and sends them through a series of tubes that are surrounded by water -glycol solution to which the heat is transferred . This is what is used to heat your coach or pre-heat your engine. There is a secondary heat exchanger in the glycol-water solution that has domestic water flowing through it for your domestic hot water use. Typically when there is a need for domestic hot water, the pumps serving the heating zones in your coach are shut off , so that you will never run out of hot water. The main difference between the Aqua-Hot and Hydro hot is that the amount of glycol- water solution is larger in the tank area around the heat exchanger. The Aqua-hot is about 11 gallons and the Hydro-Hot is 5 ( I am doing this from memory ) Hope this explains it
