Once my Enerburn is gone, I plan to switch to FBC. Since they are different products, I thought it might be time to give FBC its own thread. So if you are running FBC, please share your experience in this thread.

 

I went through a whole bottle and didn't notice a difference in distance between regens. My driving consisted of both highway and low speed/extended idling on the ranch.

 

Interesting. I used AR6200 prior to the formula change. Decided to quit Enerburn to try the new formula AR6200 for a couple thousand miles. By the last thousand, my regens went from 500 mile intervals to 400 mile intervals. When I get home, I'll be going back to Enerburn.

 

My average interval is still 340 miles or at least once a tank.

 

I've bought enough of the Better Diesel FBC that I'll be using it for the next year.

I had an interesting experience this last weekend when pulling my trailer through the mountains. The DPF % was at 90, then I noticed it at 85. Eventually it went down to 60 and didn't go down any further. My active regen will go to 0% if I don't stop the vehicle. I'm guessing that I had a pretty good passive regen going on, but I've never seen it decrease that much.

 

Yes my passive regens keep my DPF % really low. But I still regen at some set interval. An Active regen will start while my DPF is 10-15% So the Passive regen has done the job, but the computer acting off miles from last regen kicks in

 

I've been using FBC for the last 12,000 miles. Started using after the 3000 mile mark. I definitely notice a difference. Before FBC, I never made it to the mandatory regen, I would get to 350 miles at best. Now I am going the full 500 miles most of the time between city and highway. My DPF % rarely sees 99% unless I do a lot of city. My concern is what happens if you overdose? The bottle says to round down, but their has been times I miss calculated when filling and put in an ounce for less than 25 gallons. Once I even put in an ounce for 12 gallons out of habit ( I meant to put in a half an ounce)

 

The recommended dose for long term use of Better Diesel FBC is not to exceed one (1) ounce per 25 gallons of fuel. There is no problem if this dose is exceeded on an infrequent basis. Adding more than the recommended amount reduces the cost-effectiveness of the product. There are no harmful effects to the engine.

 

Yes, I would agree that the conditions of towing through the mountains likely increased the Exhaust Gas Temperature high enough for soot to start burning off in the DPF with the aid of the Better Diesel FBC fuel catalyst, in passive regen mode, the best-case scenario! Thanks for reporting this observation.

 

so how does one go about ordering this stuff? Is there any benefit using this stuff in a truck without a DPF? I have two 6.7's one is completely stock and the other went on a diet, thanks for your help.

 

Thank you for the reply. I have been told by some "experts" that too much FBC will damage the DPF .... fake news???

 

I just order mine from their web site. I found it to be the cheapest and easiest way.

 

copy that, thank you

 

Hi bobcat67,

You can place an order through the website below using the secure shopping cart and check out. Or you can call to order directly. Thank you and enjoy your evening.

The main benefit to a non-DPF or pre-emissions diesel engine is the increase in fuel efficiency. That can translate to better horsepower and/or fuel economy. The drastically lowered soot will possibly make your neighbors happier, and over time the catalytic effect will burn off internal carbon deposits in the hottest parts of the engine. Sometimes this results in less oil consumption by improving the ring seal. But, if the rings are damaged or the cylinder is worn, you could well not see a dramatic improvement in any of these areas since the additional pressure and heat being generating gets blown past the ring seals. Hopefully your older engines have been well-maintained and still have good cylinder compression.
