Diesel Kleene is the product name. Comes in 32oz bottle will raise cetane by 3 to 6 depending on how much you add.

Lots of folks here swear by it. I use it when on the road away from my Fuel pump at the farm (pay full taxes). I use B5 soy premium fuel as my first choice. Premium fuel when on the road if I find it. And lastly straight #2 with diesel Kleen in grey bottle.

If I remember Ford recommends a Cetane rating of 45+ for the new 6.4. And a study revealed that most pumps with ULSD are rated below that, around 40-43. So using a cetane additive will defiantly help combustion in the motor. Ford does recommend using the Motorcraft brand cetane additive, but they push motorcraft for everything so I think the brand you were talking about would work fine.

Here is a link to a recent thread on fuel additives in the 6.0 forum, Powerservice (DK) is the most popular followed by Stanadyne.

Basically fuel additive is very popular in the 6.0 & 7.3 engines.

Too tired to read all of the posts, but I just traveled 1045 miles and I added the booster to my tank for the first three refills. I seemed to get about one mile per gallon better mileage with the additive than without. I was pulling an 8K lbs. trailer as well. I still only averaged about 7.5 mpg at 80-85 MPH. 3600 miles on the truck so far...
