Does anyone use diesel fuel additives to thier gas? Is Power Service Diesel Kleen +Cetane Boost a good additive?

I use AMSOIL's Injector Clean and Cetane Boost in my 2014 Cruze diesel.

Depends on what brand of fuel you purchase.

I have used these in my tractors, but not in my truck.  Pretty sure the supplemental on the duramax suggests not using additives with the exception of one they say is ok.

 

Cleanest diesel around here is the stuff wal mart and coop sell.  Exxon's are the worst, had loads of issues with the tractors after using exxon diesel and on more than just one occasion.

I'm using Sam's club diesel. the dealer recommended the AC Delco.

I have always used Power Service Diesel Kleen +Cetane Boost in my diesels including my last truck 2004 dodge ram cummins.  I add this in my 2020 Duramax 3500 at 1/2 strength to each fill up.

Hotshots EDT.

Using Hotshot here as well, a little goes a long way.

BG DFC Plus here. 4oz per 100L. We use it in our bulk tanks. Also use their other products in our fuel system cleaner tool.

Ive heard Hotshots is good stuff. Seeing is believing, and the ball bearing test is the true test. Ive seen what I thought were great products, do absolutely nothing. BG, stanadyne and hotshots all passed the test.

BUT you can overdose with these. We have seen too much conditioner cause a jelly in the tank and filters. As mentioned in above post, a little goes a long ways.

I use Power Service in my tractors with mechanical pumps and conventional injectors (I've been doubling that since the advent of ultra low sulfur fuel so far no issues).

 

I use Schaffer's Carbon Treat in my truck.

I've never used an additive in 20years.  Not sure what I'm missing..
