next time go with a DP tuner..you can get up to 16 custom switch on the fly tunes..plus it tunes the Trans to get the extra power to the ground...

i use diesel clean in every tank..white bottle for winter and grey for summer..can be had at any wally world..

What Ron said is great! I've herad from others that the Stanadyne fuel additive is as good or better than the DK, but it's not as readily available in local stores. I've been using the DK product since last November, but am now switching over to the Stanadayne for a long term run with it for comparison sake.

I was happy with the DK, but wanted to give the new one a chance based on all the excellent reports for it as well. There are numerous online sources where you can order the Stanadyne products, which is what I did.

I have been using Stanadyne Performance Formula every fill up since March 2007. My mileage has gone from 12 mpg around town to 14 mpg and from 16 mpg highway to 18 mpg

thanks for the info guys ... I'm leaving for a 3500
mile trip next week so I'll track down one or the
other ... could sure use better milage :-) ..

I just had the fuel system gone thru and replaced
the fuel filter system. boy that cost :-( ..

changing out the injectors as we speak, the
two other owners never serviced the fuel
system, there was an 1" of crud in the filter
and the lines and strainers were 90% clogged.

so something to help breakup the crap in the
tank would be a great thing ..

I'll look into the DP tuner .. no time before the
trip ..

Again thanks guys !!!!!!!!!!
