I might be on a limb but i would be more worried about the right lubrication in the fuel, i personally think the whole cetane thing is over rated. In my experience cetane even in high performance diesel engines does not do much for end performance, no where near as one gets in octane levels in gas. I think the right lube will help make the fuel system last and wear much better and cetane level may be a concern in old diesel that has started to break down but thats about it.

) their rep said that is probably the best all around product for this area anyway. We'll see. Has anyone tried RevX?As far as Cetane levels are concerned, Ford recommends Cetane levels to be 45 for all Powerstroke engines, IIRC. Not sure what local fuel has....
