I started using Power Service additive in the silver bottle this summer after I had to replace three injectors..It seems to have increased my average towing mpg's by about 1 mpg and my solo mileage,freeway,is up to 19mpg..It does cost $7 a Qt,but for that much of an average change it seems worth it..Are there any other additives out there that woul;d work as well or better.I figgered that raising the mileage around 1 mpg average on a 4K towing trip pays for the additive and hopefully,according to the label,helps the engine in several ways..

 

Take a look at the following, about half way through he talks about additives.

I'd definately use Diesel Kleen, but on occasion Biodiesel.

Diesel Kleen is cheap, readily available, does a great job.

But if you really want to clean things out, run about 2 tanks of B100 mixed with some normal Diesel, then run normal diesel with some diesel kleen thereafter. You will definately have to change your fuel filter after the second tank of mixed B100, but your injectors will thank you by running better, smoother, and quieter. Repeat every oil change.

 

Does anyone have any experience with the HotShots product thats advertised on here? They seem to make soom preety good claims on their product, I was just wondering if it was as good as they say...

 

Worked wonders on my truck, I just started using it about two weeks ago and 404 firepower when used in conjunction with Hot Shot Secret works miracles!!

Coming up on 213,000 miles, my trucks power and fuel economy was starting to suffer even with my SCT tuner and other mods. I had replaced the hpop, fuel pump, and most of the related sensors, so I finally faced the fact that after 8 years (9/29/00 engine) my engine probably needed new injectors.

Before I decided to spend the money, I decided to talk to Chris at Lubrication Specialties to see if Hot Shot Secret could fix my injectors. A conversation and week later, I changed my oil, filled up, put the additives in and kept my fingers crossed.

Two tankfuls later, my truck really starts to come alive. One morning it was about 35 degrees out and normally when I start my truck in that kind of weather, it lopes a few times and then settles to high idle. When it started, it didn't lope once! My truck wasn't even plugged in either!!! It's like I just bought my truck again, starts are easier, it even idles quieter and smoother.

Around town and especially on the freeway acceleration is better and my fuel economy and power are slowly but surely recovering. You'll spend about $80 total for the fuel and oil additive, and shipping. But it's better than spending $2000 on a new set of injectors.

On a side note: I'm taking a roadtrip up to Dallas this afternoon, can't wait to see how well it does!!!!!







Hope I answered your question.....

 

You can get the Power service in bigger bottles at tractor supply or Wal mart,I also add 2oz of marvel mystery oil per 16 ounces of power service.
