Hey guys, I'm curious if y'all use an injector cleaner as preventative medicine. If so, what is recommended?

 

I use Power Service Diesel Kleen + Cetane Boost. Good overall additive that adds lubricity to ULSD, detergents for injectors, and improves cetane number.

 

so far, the 6.7 does not seem to have any problem with injectors. They are not the same as the old 7.3. 6.0 or 6.4 style injectors.

Most people who run additives, do so for water removal, cetane boost and lubricity of the injection pump.

The 6.7 uses Piezo fuel injectors. Basically they are electric injectors.

 

I've been running Stanadyne Performance Formula in every tank since my 2005 6.0L. Do I have any idea if it does any good? Not really. Nothing bad has happened either.

 

I've used Fords PM 22a since my truck was new, but I don't think it cleans injectors.
Just Strokin, are you saying that the 6.7 injectors do not need cleaning because they are Piezo electric?

 

HAve you heard of any 6.7 injectors giving any problems?

 

Opti-Lube Summer Plus and Enerburn.

 

I did a one time cleaner once and didnt really notice a difference. All last summer i used the Ford PM 22, seemed to help. I have since switched to Standadyne additives as you can cross mix them with no issues

 

I use Diesel Kleen especially after it's been setting for a while plus I do put StaBil in the tanks before going out of the country on jobs. Last time I got back from Argentina in November I had a minor rough idle issue, filled the tank with fuel and Diesel Kleen, then refilled the transfer tank with fuel and Diesel Kleen (80 Gallons) and then drove from Salt Lake to the Washington Coast and she runs as smooth as when I bought her.

 

I have not heard of any issues, but wanted to make sure I didn't have any. Seems like gasoline injectors need cleaning.

 

Its really about carbon buildup around the injector stem and head. At 36000 PSI carbon will not buildup at the nozzle opening. Well filtered fuel with lubricity is the real concern for the injectors and pumps especially when using #2/ULSD.

 

I use PowerKleen and Essentiallube by Hydrotex its the same additives that we use in the all the garbage trucks at the company I work for . But to each is their own . Cheers

 

I've been using Ford's PM22A every other tank since new.

 

I have used it with every tank of fuel since new. Do you use it at the rate of 4 oz. to 30 gallons of fuel?

 

I haven’t been too precise with the correct amount of mixture. I use 1/4 of the bottle for every full tank.
