Try some Acetone and 1 quart Turpentine for Cetane.

Yes 2 stroke is good no carbon.I use 3 oz. acetone per 10 gals to give 2 mpg more.I use turpenting to raise Cetane, and burn 100% fuel (no smoke).

We keep Powerservice 911 on hand just in case but use Howes every fillup in the winter and every other fill up in other season.

Did you notice a difference that fast?? how long did it take 10- 15 min? what did you notice? i'm thinkin about runnin 2 stroke in my 6.0 and seeing if it helps anything... I put in a bottle of power service diesel supplement in my last fill up and that seemed to help a little bit. but i'm wondering about the 2 stroke oil.

Suggestions please??
Thanks fellas!!

Default Additives

As far as fuel additives, I was taught in school by techs in the heavy duty diesel industry not to use any!! My instructors laugh and say, "what a waste of money", I'm on east cost where weather conditions vary, but they say fuel companies already put what is needed in the fuels according to your location. Then again we learn on million mile engines, not our little pickup hot rods!! LOL My father isn't much of a believer and never ran any additives, now I bought his truck has 91,000 miles 24v and runs t*ts!! Past 2 years I have been using PS. (Power Service), and I NEVER had any problems, minor mpg increase with summer blend only!! During cold seasons it is a giving your mpg will decrease b.c of the cetain levels in fuel. Some fleet services example. Uhaul it is a must in fuel additives. What I think it comes down to is personal preference. We did some minor test at school E.C.T.I and seems that all additives did was decrease mpg by raising cetain levels.

DonnyK,

I was told today that heavy duty diesel engines are not HPCR so that lack of lube from ULSD will not affect heavy duty diesel injectors like it does to our high pressure injectors we have in our 5.9L engine. Whats your thoughts true or not?
