No problem. I should add, that its very cheap and EASY to find. Heck even Wal-Mart carries the "Diesel Kleen" and they also carry the winter versions (White bottle and only adds 4 cetane points).

My girlfriends father has been a semi driver and diesel mechanic just about all of his life and has used nothing but Power Service. You really can't disagree with a person who has used it for increased mpg, anti-gel, and lubrication with awesome results for 25+ years and millions of miles.

I use the "Diesel Kleen +Cetane Boost" every fillup in my 5.9L 24v Cummins Turbo. I see a 2-3mpg increase as well as a great improvement in power.

I used to use this in my 2000 powerstroke but started using Amsoil and tried Stanadyne for 60 gallons. Only the Amsoil got rid of the #8 injector ticking sound.

Just got some independent lab tests from Odis on Fuel Power for diesel fuel treatment and thought I would share it here. Hopefully soon LC and FP will have a web page with this kind of data.

Petroleum Specialist Lab, Ft Worth TX.

Fuel from pump locally procured. So its realistic to what you as a consumer would see.

Freeze point ASTM D 2386

#2 diesel W/FP -20

#2 diesel -17


Volatility testing D 86

Distillation residue vol % FP treated 1.1

" " #2 diesel 1.3

Limit is 1.5 %

Distillation loss Vol % FP treated 0.1

" " #2 diesel 0.4

limit is 1.5 %

What this means is that FP is very compatible and stable in the diesel fuel application. 1 oz to 5 gallons gives significant cleaning and stability with a benefit in cold weather ops, with less buildup in injectors and CC. While adding needed lubricity and at a cost significantly less than ANY additive mentioned above or available.

Contact Rugerman1 or Odis Beaver for more data.
