Sure, I have used it, but I switched to Lucas fuel additive. Lucas was cheaper, and easier to use at 2 oz./10.0 gallons of diesel. The Lucas fuel additive is "Upper Cylinder Lubricant & Injector Cleaner. " I also use Howe's Lubricator since it is an anti-gel for winter driving.

Hope this is helpful. Good luck.

 

I use it on my truck, every once & a while, I do get better mileage with it, a small gain in MPG

 

I have a 12V .. I have ran atf, 2 strke and DK ... @ stroke ( ashless NON-syn) .. its almost as quiet as our LB7 ... EVEN cold ( 10*F) ..

 

XPD here, although my truck was designed for ULD. Some parts have fallen off, but I use an additive anyway. If you do some research here on the blog there is a post showing results of all different additives compared in a blind test and how they line up with the results.

 

Wally World 2-stroke tcw3 outboard motor oil for me. I use a more conservative half-quart to a tank with a touch of PS Diesel Keen. Been doin this for years. My CTD is MUCHO HAPPY.

 

We all run different years, brand of trucks, different engines, so what may work in an old Dodge, may not work in a Ford 7.3 and what works in the older engines may not work as well or at all in a newer engine. And with the newest emission controlled engines...well be careful what you put in that fuel. Dont want your DPF exploding under the truck! I've always used Stanadyne, ever since I had a 6.2 GM (Detriot) But I've been hearing good things about the Amsoil additives. I'm sure it depends on where we buy our additives, some are only available on line, others can be found at WalMart. As for testing, I'll leave that up to the labs, as I can't run the exact same load, same temperature, same traffic/construction all the time. I run a 90 Gal aux tank, and a 50 gal under bed tank. A bottle of Standadyne does 20 gallons and I put a bottle in both tanks. if I'm almost empty and 1/2 bottle in each if I'm about half full. Where you get your fuel has more to do with fuel mileage than an additive. But I add it to help lubricity primarily, anything else it does I hope helps. Sorry I can't post some long article or advertisement.
I'm sure most additives help with lubricity. Most wont hurt your engine or economy. Yes I've used 2 stroke oil in a 7.3 and GM 6.2, would I use it in my F450 6.7? no I wouldn't.
When we changed to LSD (low sufer diesel) alot of the older class 8 trucks had real bad problems with pumps and injectors, same thing when we went from LSD to ULSD I would hope that the OEMs would have built fuel pumps and injection systems to be compatible with the ULSD. And that most fuel suppliers wouild add enough lubricating additives, But as was stated before I'll continue to add some, just in case.

 

Agreed! Anyway you look at it, its cheap insurance to help safeguard IPs and injectors.

 

anyone ever run ATF in a common rail? im using power service right now with howes in the winter ( we hit -40 C here ) but an ol boy from way back i work with told me ATF is by far the best lubricant for a diesel, then again diesel trucks to him are still gm 6.2's anyone ever done it or know if its safe for the cp3/injectors?

 

ATF wasn't made to burn, I wouldn't use ATF, I would keep using POWER SERVICE

 

ATF belongs in an auto trans.
