Fuel Additive
 
I have an 07 5.9...

I have always tried to use B5-B15 bio-diesel, but, my source for bio-diesel has dried up. As far as I can tell around town, only Murphy Oil advises that their pumps "may" contain up to 5% bio-diesel, but they don't say for sure.

I'm sure this has been asked many times before ... What are the most cost effective fuel additives for my 3rd Gen 5.9 Cummins?

Marvel Mystery Oil? Walmart 2-stroke? Diesel Kleen?

ive had a bunch of people telling me lately not to you use any type of additive in my 06.... they say that its hard on the injection system... is there any truth to this ? it seems very hard to find a diffinitive answer to this question...... i was using diesel aid, and before that in my 2000 howels...

Make sure it is ULSD compliant and alcohol free.

Good info here!

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.

Just an update on that Lucaus Oil, I did a test to see witch is better. Here it is: Lucas Oil (upper cylinder lubricant) vs. Diesel Kleen (gray bottle) - YouTube :pca1::c:
