Diesel Kleen?

Can I add a full (32oz.) bottle to a 38 gal. tank?

Probably, but why? Don't need that much. If you browse some of the forums on additives and such, I found that (supposedly) if you boost the cetane too high, you will actually change the "timing" on combustion, loose power and fuel effeciency. I am casually trying different ratios to see what my truck likes, if I nail it , I will post it.

I usually add 1/2 bottle of Diesel Kleen to each full tank(38 gallon). That seems to be a good mix and I'm religious about adding it. It has made a world of difference in my truck.

I use it also, keep the injectors nice and clean. There is a difference in MPG, starting it, and overall power going down the road. The gray bottle does wonders.

Diesel Kleen IS made by Power Service, the grey bottle which says diesel kleen, boosts cetane levels, while the white bottle which says diesel fuel supplement, is used mainly for winter use ie. anti-gel but has cetane boost also and yes it is the bottle everyone is talking about. Both clean the injectors. My truck runs noticeably smoother since i have been using it but my mileage suffered a bit, hopefully it just cleaning the injectors and will get better. Can't wait for the weather to warm up so i can use the grey bottle.
