Diesel Kleen worry...

Ok.. I'm wondering.. I made a big mistake.. Didn't realize it til a friend pointed it out.. I got the big Gray bottle of DK.. The one that does Cetane boost by 6 numbers for 50 gallons..

I poured the whole bottle in my 29 gallon tank.. DOH!

Is that going ot hurt anything? I surely WONT do that again.. I guess the injectors will be EXTRA clean lol

Do you mean the BIG bottle? Like 3 quarts worth in one tank? HOLY COW! I suggest not letting the fuel level get lower than half a tankt o keep dilutuing the mixture.

Keep us posted on how the truck runs and if there are any mpg changes.

Talking

NBD, it will be fine as it will only raise the level by 6 max, no matter how much you put in.

Yep...the value gained by enhanced cetane plateaus at around 52.

All you have done is given your system a hell of a good cleaning and lubed her up pretty good. Not to worry.

Ok then my mileage drop must be bad fuel or that new flash they did

Looks like my fuel light is on at 317 miles.. Kinda nervous to see it calculate out.. Last tank was 16mpg but that was before she went to the shop to get the MAPs cleaned out and the new Flash put in..
