from what i have read and researched the 2 best ones are dieselkleen and stanydyne (sp?) I personally use dieselkleen every fill up. I don't know that i actually notice anything from it but it's only about an extra 2 bucks per fillup and when your already spending 75+ i would like the little extra help or preventive maintenance it provides. PLus you can get it almost anywhere.

 

I have read a study on here somewhere, and 2 stroke engine oil at 1oz per gallon is supposedly one of the best additives you can use, and it beat a LOT of other higher priced and more popular ones by quite a bit.

 

I was having white smoke at cold start-up and tried Lucas. I thought I had a bad EGR. Less than a week it stopped smoking at cold start-up and was running smoother. A week later I got a ScannGaugeII and found out my water and oil temps were not far enough to worry about the EGR right now. This was the first time ever using any Lucas Product. Could have cleaned the tip enough to close off the injector enough to keep it from leaking after shutdown.

 

thanks guys, Well i'm going to try the Lucas stuff for my first fillup since i already have it. Then for the next one, i'll do a little more research and prolly try the 2 stroke oil. Thanks!

 

I run the 2-Cycle oil ever fillup, and Diesel Kleen every other / third. I may be imaging things, but the 2-Cycle makes things seem quieter and smoother. On the oil side, I still have Rev-X in there and my cold starts are a breeze now.

 

i run 1oz of 2-cycle per gallon, have only done it for one tank and i noticed that the motor ran quieter, seemed like it had a little more response on the throttle and it didnt take as much peddal to get her up to speed. It may just be a placebo effect, but i'm sold on the 2stroke. Especially since you can get 32oz for around $4.

 

I used lucas, nice but pricy. there are many right ups on additives. 2-stroke oil is popular

 

I add Schaeffer's Diesel Treatment with every tank fillup. I buy it at NAPA.

Schaeffer Oil 3.0 | Industrial Lubricants | Diesel Fuel Additive | Synthetic Motor Oils

 

The best additive hands down is biodiesel. Anyway here's some food for thought.

 

if anyone is interested, i'm willing to give out 3 bottles of our additive (on my own dime) for you to try and report back on, BUT only if you post your likes and dislikes (if there are any)

looking for the first 3 people in 3 seperate parts of the country.

let me know if anyone is interested.

Bob (Knoxville, TN) 3/30/2010 10:25 AM
I pull a 15,000 lb 30 foot trailer 600 mi a night, 6 nights a week and have tried many additives- Howes, which my truck hated (when I stopped it I realized she ran better, smoother and the exhaust smelled better without), Lucas which keeps her running smooth, but didn't give me a performance or mileage boost, Sea-Foam which did make a noticeable difference, but is too expensive for regular use, Stanadyne,PPE, and several others, none of which impressed me...until now. I had my doubts, but about halfway through the first bottle, I began to notice that she was not only idling smoother, but gradually starting to pull stronger,run quieter and down shift less on those TN and KY grades. By the end of that bottle(which I burned through in 8 days),there was a noticeable mileage increase too, 3/10ths to 3/4 of a mpg.That may not sound like much, but remember I run 75 mph through the hills and mountains of KY and TN pulling between 9 and 15,000 lbs. I am now well into the second bottle, my truck is running better than ever, and the MPG seems to still be creeping up. Bravo XDP! I AM impressed, and am ordering 12 more bottles.

Have seen a 1 MPG increase around town over the last 3 months. Have not done any highway driving but i am excited to see the increase there as well. I usually only buy Conoco/Phillips/BP fuel so not to use MidEast/Venezuelan oil. So can not say much for the fuel quality increase in that i always by good quality.


no complaints here

Well so far so good. I am liking the XDP power plus fuel addiitive. My mileage has stayed the same as when I was running the schaeffers diesel treat and it is a lot easier to measure out an ounce instead of four out of a pour bottle. I am going to continue to use it and see if the performance keeps up. It has helped to eliminate the timing rattle also. andy


This is one of the better purchases I have made for my truck.

I wanted to weigh back in on the XDP additive. I bought 12 bottles which was delivered quickly. I have run it now in about 115 gallons of fuel. We have had the worst winter on record and the truck starts easily even when I am impatient and start immediately with no more than a second of grid heater time. Don't know about mileage because I have no baseline for this cold weather. I shipped three bottles to my son who has an 06 5.9l. He lives in Michigan and gets lots of sub zero weather. He has had no problems starting either. Now for one of those good bad stories. He called last night and told me that in his third fillup with the XDP he noticed that he has no smoke at all regardless of how hard he accelerates. The no smoke part means the fuel must be combusting much better with the XDP. For my son he misses fogging out the rice burners he tromps at the lights. However, he still thinks the XDP is the shizzits. This is one of the better purchases I have made for my truck.


Great Stuff
Steve (Susanville CA) 2/20/2010 8:06 PM
This is great stuff. I have a 2008 f350 4x4 6.4L , and 2008 f250 4x4 6.4L. Both trucks have about 35k miles on them. This stuff made them run smooth, and milage has pick up about 1 to 2 mpg on both trucks. They start quicker, and have a better throttle responce. I recomend this to all my friends. Thank you XDP diesel power, DO NOT CHANGE THIS PRODUCT, it is great as it is.


Awesome all Around

Love it, it gives you quieter performance and better fuel economy.


XDP Fuel Addative
Brent (Lexington VA) 12/29/2009 8:14 PM
Jesse from MBRP gave me a sample to try at a show a few weeks ago. I drove my truck from VA to FL for the Holidays and averaged nearly 2.4mpg better than the previous drive from FL to VA. The truck had no other modifcations other than the additive. The truck is an 03 Dodge 3500 DRW 305hp truck with and SB intake and a Smarty tuner. I drive with the cruise at 70mph. While the first bottle was a sample from a friend I am currently sitting on this website to order myself a case as now I am a firm believer in the benefits. Better MPGs and the engine is so much quieter at idle. thanks XDP

I have an 05 f350 with a 6" lift on 37s and I was hoping to improve my fuel economy a little. I've only used this in 4 tanks of fuel so far but the results have been great! The biggest improvement came in my highway mpgs. I gained about 1.5 mpgs on the highway and .5 mpgs around town. Not a huge difference, but well worth the price. My performance has also improved slightly. Nothing major but you can feel the difference!


Increased Mileage and Performance in my truck...
Jesse@MBRP (MBRP Factory Vehicle) 11/11/2009 5:58 PM
I've been using this product now in my Super Duty for a brief time and yet the results are simply nothing but staggering. When traveling to XDP's location I averaged 17.46mpg at 70mph. On the return trip with not other variation other than the fuel additive I average 19.21mpg at the same 70mph. I have since logged several tanks both with and without the additive in the truck and everytime I see an improvement in fuel mileage and performance when I am using the XDP product. Two Thumbs up from us here at MBRP. Jesse Rohr - MBRP Performance Exhaust

 

If you have room for one more, I would give it a shot too!

 

I run optilube XPD. Both the wife & I think it runs quieter.

 

can the original poster get a test bottle ;-)

its cool, after reading all the great feedbacks/comments i'm ordering a bottle as I speak.

 

I ordered a bottle too since I had to order an Airdog 2. I'm interested to see how it does. I'm spoiled since when the weather warms up from May to Oct. I run B100. Nothing comes close to quieting down the motor like that. But for the off months I'd like to find an additive that I'm happy with.

 

Ok guys i've got my 3 people in various parts of the country which should make for some interesting results.

Hopefully they will be posting back in a week or so, if not i'll be at their house sucking it back out of the tank and replacing it with snookie's sand from the Jersey shore:hehe:

I'm also working on getting together some specs on the formula, in which i believe should give you guys a little more confidence in it.:thumb:

 

Easy now, don't want no snookie's sand, I'm gonna run this tank out and then start using it I'm a little slower than some at running 38 gal out, well I did go out and droped in 1 oz. with about 18 gal in it wasn't sure how it will mix without fillin up after you put it in. But anyway thanks got it fast and will write up about it and will watch the mpg also hope it helps that will sell me for sure.

Ahh Kyle,

Now don't be hatin !!! Seriously when I get you your sample I will run 2 tanks first then (have to clear the Diesel Kleen) I will give everyone my honest opinion. It will even get your company put to the top of my preferred providers if it works as advertised. Thanks Again, Hope you had a great weekend.

Ron

 

haha no problem guys. Can't wait to hear the feedback.

 

Does Anyone Know if Marvel mystory oil will work as well in the fuel ????????/

 

is any body going to give some feed back on this
after reading this I ordered some along with fuel filters put 1oz in with fill up 1/4 tank later it sounded like I had a extra muffler on my truck. I hope that with the rest of the tank thing just get better

 

Sorry man i've already got the people i needed in the different parts of the country. It is still on sale though at $6.95 a bottle, i believe the price is going up in the summer...

 

So what's the actual cetane increase #? It says 5 point, and then 5%. there's a big difference there....
