Best Fuel Additive

What is the best additive to keep the fuel system clean and maybe boost performance?

Diesel Kleen grey bottle summer. White bottle winter. I live in Yuma, AZ. Grey bottle all year. haha Don't expect a boost in performance. It's a cetane booster.


"Diesel Kleen +Cetane Boost is a technologically advanced diesel engine performance improver that cleans injectors, boosts cetane and lubricates fuel injection components. This Max HP Formula restores lost power, smooths rough-running engines and improves fuel economy up to 8%. Diesel Kleen can be used year-around, but it is not a diesel fuel winterizer or antigel. When winter temperatures drop below + 30°F. use Diesel Fuel Supplement +Cetane Boost (in the white bottle) to provide maximum winter protection for your diesel engine." Directly from their web site.

Optilube XPD, Power Service Diesel Kleen (grey or white), Schaffer Oil Diesel Treat 2000, or Stanadyne are probably the biggest ones. And the Motorcraft stuff you buy at the dealerships.

Power Service is sold just about everywhere, the other three I can only find on the internet. Guess what I use.
