Hey there, I was wondering If anybody out there is running fuel additives such as Cetane Improvers and Diesel Fuel Conditioners. If so what brand are you using and have you noticed a difference in how your truck performs such as running smoother, starting easier, better fuel mileage etc.

Also, can you mix the two, the conditioner and cetane improver?

 

I run Stanadyne Performance Formula every tank. In summer I don't notice any difference. In winter it does make the truck start easier and with less white smoke.

 

Lubetec for me. I use their Premium Diesel Conditioner and have for about 2 years.

I noticed about 1 -1.5 MPG increase which when you do the math, costs me nothing to add. The increased mileage pays for the product. It does help with smoke, startup and smooth running. I added it to my buddies DMAX and if you can believe it, it makes it quieter too.

Very happy with this product. I have run Stanadyne, Power-up(Maryn), FPPF, Howes and Lucas along the way.

J-eh

 

do you use lubetec in your cooling system too?

 

white bottle power servce here, availible at wllyworld and works year round as well. jiMMy (havent filled up enough to give any numbers)

 

Ya know, I haven't tried it. I was also eyeing up their lube additive for the diffs anyway. The oil additives out there always seem profess alot but its hard to prove or dis-prove it does what it says

 

I usually use the White bottle, but on a recent trip up to Duluth, I used the silver bottle. I got about 15mpg pulling 2 ATV's on a light snowmobile trailer (using the white bottle). I got 18mpg this last trip (empty) using the silver bottle. I honestly think it added about 2 miles per gallon. I bought two while I was at the station, they were only $4 each for the 100gallon bottles. I found my new favorite Time will tell how it affects in the next few tanks....
