Diesel fuel additive
 
Does anyone use it in thier vehicles and if so what brand, what results, etc.

I just bought some cleaner from Walmart to put in my 06 Ford and plan on starting to add the treatment if it is worth it.

thanks

I use it a couple times a year to keep engine components clean.
I don't use it in every fill up.

I talked to a different diesel mechanic yesterday, one I should of talked to 1st! He owns a duramax & uses an additive, he told me I needed to start using some also, I'll find out what he uses this w/e

I use an additive sold by Baton Rouge Industries. I have used it for years. No diesel fuel problems in my trucks or tractors. If I run out of that I use Lucas.

Seafoam is all I use now. There is another product out there called Gamma 88 that seems to be good, that I may try. I think the website is gamma88.com

Where do you get Seafoam?
West Marind don't have it anymore.
That's where I usta get it.
I run that thru all my outboards every year.
It's like a cheap tune up.

I started using something the dealership recommended (and sells--imagine that). Not expensive though. Use like 4 oz per every other fill up. I think it is a 20 oz bottle for about 8 bucks at Tarver Ford. Called C-tane (not sure bout the spelling). This is in an 08 F250 diesel 6.4L. Not sure if its good for all diesels.

Wal-mart had for $ 10. But that was about a year ago that I was looking at it. One bottle for each tank full [~ 16 gallons....not sure] of gas.

Ray, Walmart is carrying Seafoam.

I have seen the Cetane before and a friend of mine used it in his Dodge, dealer recommended to him.

I put 8oz.'s of marvel mystery oil every time I fill up. NO problems

GulfStar 01-22-2011 12:34 PM

SEAFOAM
 
Seafoam like the others said. The cheapest place to find it is at Tractor Supply Company, it's cheaper there than Wally World.

Ray 01-22-2011 02:48 PM

I HATE Walmart.
I don't live far from Advanced Auto Parts.

Same here. My father in law is a diesel mechanic and told me to use it because the low sulfur fuel doesn't have enough lubricant in it. Haven't had a problem since on my '07 Duramax.

'07 Duramax was built for low sulphur diesel.
