Picked up my new PSD F350 a couple of days ago and time to fill up for the first time. Do I need to add anything to the fuel? Please help me protect my investment, my 24 year old salesman didn't know sqat about the new PSD's

Same here. Been running Diesel Kleen in every tank. Make sure the kind you use is the ULSD formula.

I use the Motorcraft Cetane boost for the ULSD. I've found that ULSD fuel isn't equal everywhere. The Cetane boost helps to quiet the engine. I believe it helps ever so slightly on fuel mileage too. I don't use it in every tank, but I will use it if I'm going to be towing or going on a trip. I haven't tried diesel kleen but I may give it a shot as well. I started using Cetane boost after I saw the powerstroke DVD that comes with the truck.

I use motorcraft cetane booster. I pick it up from my local dealer; guy at the parts department gives me a good deal on it. $4 a bottle and it treats 125 gallons of diesel.

I think Diesel Kleen, no matter what type is all ULSD compatible.

Walmart pulled it from the shelves in early '07 when the older bottles didn't say ULSD. The product is all the same.

Checked @ local WalMart and the bottles all said Low Sulphur on them not ULSD.

Large bottles at all locations in my area (Walmart, Tractor Supply, Atwoods, etc.) have ULSD in large black circle and the smaller bottles have it in text on the front of the bottle.

My old pre ULSD bottle doesn't have anything about sulphur on the bottle.

jr, as the previous poster indicated, the 1 gal bottle all say ULSD on them. Even if they don't, they are the same product.

WalMart pulled all the non-ULSD labeled bottles in early 2007 and had them replaced with bottles which had the correct markings.

You won't have any problems using the product.
