Better running truck. So pulled the filter and filled the bowl with seafoam, started the truck up drove it for about 10 miles. I've noticed the truck is quieter idles soother and just runs better all together. I only filled the bowl up abouth half way.

Most folks pour DK in the fuel bowl full-strength for a good flush. I've heard of folks running Sea Foam in the fuel system with good results. Just don't run anything in the oil system except oil...

My truck got treated to some diesel 911 this week. Seemed to make it run a bit quieter as well.

did you run it without the filter for those 10 miles?
i have had great luck with seafoam in gas vehicles...usually i "inject" it directly into the brake booster vac line and you get a HUGE smoke screen...id like to try it in the powerstoke...thanks

I run the white diesel klen every other tank. It helped but useing the seafoam works really good in the bowl. And yes never ever in the oil, seafoam causes foaming in the oil so as it passes through the hpop it will puting air in the injectors and that's no good. But I would recommend it in the fuel bowl.

No never run with out a filter and a diesel motors acutely has a vacuum pump insted of like a gasser making vacuum from the manifold so I wouldn't advise putting it in the booster tube.
