I have heard of people using in the LB7 to keep the injectors lubed. So if it would help keep my injectors healthy, i am all for it. But if it has no chance of helping them, i am not gonna waste my money.

I'm not going to add anything to my fuel or oil, I'm not going to remove my DPF before my warranty is finished

Thanks Dr. Evil!
That was a pure in-depth study. Looks like the Shaffer Diesel treat 2000 or the other better brands is going into my truck. I am not going to use 2 stroke. IT does not recommend the use of it, nor any of the others. and for all of us recommending our personal opinions on an additive. We could be liable for any problems that happen. If somebody use a product that works for me and not them. I could be held accountable. SO I obviously cannot retract any of my posts. But I will negate all my posts henceforth to the time of 1101 PST -8GMT. On 08-21-2010 with the understanding that this does not protect me.

So the gentilman was right do not put any fuel additive in your truck.

You know Marvel has been around for a long time. I don't think they have been filed against. So they must be doing something right. More study needs to be done.

So according to that study, the 2-stroke oil in the fuel does have SOME benefit for those of us with older trucks, but there are better performing fuel additives out there. That was a good study and VERY useful one at that.

Is there anyway we can get a mod to make that link a sticky in the fuel additive section for future reference in any corresponding thread??
