Will Deisel Kleen do damage?
I added diesel kleen to my 97 F350 PS, got about 10 miles down the road and now it is blowing dirty white smoke almost constantly....I could fog the whole neighborhood with it in 5 minutes it is so bad. There is no drop in performance but I am now afraid to drive it. Any thoughts? It almost looks like a car after you sea foam it only this doesn't stop blowing white grey dirty smoke and tons of it. It does not throw any codes, and passes all of the electrical but it does fail the contribution test on a few cylinders....would the next step be checking compression via the glow plugs and then assume I may have a stuck injector? or should I just drain out the diesel with the diesel kleen in it and start with fresh deisel and see what happens? I don't want to blow the thing up....

Bad news.....could it be a stuck injector?

So I am gonna drain the tank tomorrow and replace with fresh diesel and see if the issue stops. I am new to diesel but it seems to me that it should not be running great and doing this....my guess is that I have a stuck injector even though it passes the buzz test. I sure as hell don't want to hydrolock it....I am finding out that perhsps a 7.3 with only 140K on it may not have been such a good deal after all...

Can't see it being the diesel kleen.
I run Howes diesel treat and every few thousand Km a bottle of diesel charge from wynns that I started using once I watched a 6.0L pull in running like garbage, and pull out running fine after having a bottle of it dumped in and run through for an hour or so.
it's not the additive.
