That's really odd.  I have been using PC diesel for about a year and have
noticed no real difference to anyone else's diesel.   In fact it runs quite
well.  I do add a cetane booster in the summer and I use an anti-gel with
cetane booster in the winter.  I get virtually no smoke.  I wonder if they
have a problem with their tank.  Did you always fill up at the same station
?
