I have been useing stanadyne PF and primrose 405-409 formula with a shot of marvel mystery oil since day one of being new(truck has around 47,000-48000 on the OD),I have also used seafoam for injector cleaning.I just picked up some howes meaner power Kleaner today.I will give it a try and post my results as far as ticking noise reduction and MPG,s gained or loss.coobie

just put some in yesterday, have been useing redline diesel cat. when towing get a 2mpg increase, go from 10mpg to 12 mpg .i hope howes will impove this by cleaning the injectors or what ever. ordering a xzt box tues so want to get some miles on the howes before i install box to see which one works best.

 

I use RED LINE it works for me little pricey 60 a gallon but thats treats 1,000 gl. 3 oz per 25 gl. never tried howes. as for mpg who cares what it gets. at least its better than my brother inlaws 1 ton chevy bigblock 4.7 loaded 8 unloaded.

 

I found the howes meaner cleaner here also, www.dukeheating.com they are located in PA.Press the motor oil section botton and it comes up for $9.99.coobie.

 

If there's a flying J near you they sell it there. 9.99 for 32 oz. I think

 

I've been playing around with different additives and so far I feel comfortable in saying Power Kleaner had the best effect on engine noise etc. The engine sounded quieter and felt slightly smoother, like a "well oiled machine".

I can't say what it did for MPG as I didn't measure it.

My question is how often to run the POWER KLEANER?

Do you mix it with Howe's Anti-gel, alternate between the two, only use the power kleaner once in a while....???etc.

I tried calling Howe's to answer this question but never got an answer, not even an machine.

 

I just dumped in 8oz. howes meaner kleaner and 4oz. of stanadyne PF.I would think you would want a anti-gel and cetane booster to run with the howes.coobie

 

howes web site says you cant over use

 

Of course not.

 

does it say anything about lube on the bottle? I looked at their web site and it does not mention lube additive. gotta have lube!

I will probably give this stuff a try.

 

everytime you fill up, USE IT. 4oz=about 32 gallons which is about the size of our fuel tank, which you can see the sizes on the side of the bottle and thats how you know how many ounces you're putting. If I just put $20 in my tank, I also first put like an ounce. ALWAYS PUT THE ADDITIVE BEFORE THE FUEL.

 

It says on the bottle (Quote)it works like a machine to power clean and lubricate the entire fuel injection system.I figure I will give it a 2 week test and see how it works.I have had great luck with the Stanadyne PF and primrose 405-409 as far as anit-gels and cetane boosters.I am trying the meaner kleaner to see how it works on the slight tick I have.

 

I think I remember the last time I put $20 in a tank, but it sure wasn't ever in this truck.

BTW, I don't like drawing too much attention to my truck by leaving a BA black cloud behind me when I leave the light. Stanadyne Performance really helps keeping the smoke down in midrange take offs.
