Fuel Additive
Got this Special Service Message from The Ford Technician Website about fuel additive. Thought Ya'll might like to read it. I have read a few posts about use or not. This is Ford's Advice.
17406 1999-2004 MULTIPLE VEHICLES WITH 7.3L OR 6.0L DIESEL ENGINE - LOW POWER, POOR FUEL ECONOMY, FUEL GELLING COLD, EXCESSIVE WHITE SMOKE COLD, OR HARD START
SOME 1999-2004 SUPER DUTY F-SERIES, ECONOLINE, EXCURSION AND F650/750 VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH 7.3L OR 6.0L DIESEL ENGINES MAY EXHIBIT LOW POWER, POOR FUEL ECONOMY, FUEL GELLING IN COLD WEATHER, EXCESSIVE WHITE SMOKE ON COLD START, OR A HARD START. THESE CONDITIONS MAY BE DUE TO LOW FUEL QUALITY. IF NO ROOT CAUSE IS FOUND DURING NORMAL DIAGNOSTICS, ADVISE THE CUSTOMER TO VERIFY FUEL QUALITY BY PURCHASING AN ADDITIVE THAT WILL IMPROVE CETANE LEVELS, SUCH AS STANADYNE PERFORMANCE FORMULA OR EQUIVALENT. THE ADDITIVE USED MUST NOT CONTAIN ALCOHOL. HAVE THE CUSTOMER MONITOR PERFORMANCE WHILE USING AT LEAST ONE BOTTLE OF ADDITIVE. IF THE CONDITION IMPROVES WITH THE ADDITIVE, THEN THE FUEL IS NOT MEETING MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS: ADVISE THE CUSTOMER TO LOOK FOR A BETTER FUEL SOURCE, OR CONTINUE TO TREAT THE FUEL.
