You better read that can of SeaFoam...it contains things that should not be ran through a CR injection system.

This is old, it has some issues; but will give you a good idea on some additives:

im going to start using this XDP Diesel Power Plus Fuel Additive i heard its good stuff, it has great reviews, and its not expensive at all! and almost all additives help with your injectors untill you get to the 08 and newer where there made to handle the new EPA regulations and the less amount of lubircity. but thats just my opinion. but there are a number of threads from "WHIT" about lubrication in fuel all over this forum, so if you want any more information about it its a good place to look

Keep thinking that...nothing like dosing your fuel with solvents, which is what SeaFoam is...its your truck, not mine; therefore, I don't care what you run through it.

Stanadyne is good, and there is always Amalgamated who custom blends it to your spec...Amsoil and Schaeffer also make respected additives.
