That's good stuff right there. I know I have no complaints about my fuel additive choice... I was just going to try a tank of the other to see if there was a noticeable difference. I know I like that Redline Diesel Fuel Catalyst... I'll find the MSDS to see how it holds up to the F250_ yard stick.
*EDIT Does 20-29% 2-Ethylhexyl nitrate pass muster? What little I know about chemistry, that looks pretty good.

That said... 2-Ethylhexyl nitrate is a good thing, and if your additive is advertising cetane improvement characteristics, it should have either "2-Ethylhexyl nitrate" or "di-tert-butyl peroxide". Other alkyl nitrates are used as well.
Yep. Short term and/or initial cleanup use is not really a big deal, but long term use does have its price

My fave is E-Z Oil Diesel Clean but it's not readily available. Engine feels happy on that juice, tho only used two bottles. I mostly run two stroke oil or Power Service Diesel Kleen, whatever falls to hand. I went back and forth with an additive and without until it was obvious (by sound and starting) having something was better than nothing.

This has been a very good tread since it is digging into what additives actually make a better diesel additive. Now I myself can't figure out the MSDS info to save my life so thanks F350 for pointing out what chemicals do what. 
I myself use DK but in the dead of winter last year I have had tried XDP Polar. And with the XDP Polar I seemed to get better mileage but it didn't to want to start as quick as it does with the DK. Has anyone else ever tried the XDP Polar? And I am more unclear if it is actually better per the MSDS sheet ?

So if one you guys that know what chemicals do what can give me a read on break down. Like what is hydrocarbon naphtha ? Sounds to be better used in gasoline or is a form of gasoline??? I'm confused
