IMO picking from your list ULSD w/ an additive (diesel kleen, stanadyne, motorcraft). I think if you can find it B5 (5%Biodiesel 95%Diesel). I've never heard of "Enriched" Diesel; it probably the same as Premium Diesel, and if you knew what additives they used and it didn't cost way more than USLD I think it would be good to use too.

Some areas have the "enriched diesel". It already has a cetane boost in it.
For my money, I agree w/ adambomb. Buy the ULSD and put Stanadyne or put Power Service Diesel Kleen in it.
The ULSD may have less lubricity, but it is important to have the lower ash and soot.

+1 on what adambomb and bismic posted. I get my fuel at our local Flying J truckstop. They, as well as all local fuel stations, have their cetane rating posted on their pumps. Their diesel is 45 cetane and is ULSD. I only fuel there because they are a volume seller, the fuel isn't sitting in the tanks underground forever like it is at a lot of lower volume sellers, and they are the only seller locally that has 45 cetane. I also use Diesel Kleen in every tank...grey bottle in the warm weather and white bottle in cold weather.

iv been using ulsd+ stanadyne. but the only cetain i can find is 40. That enriched said 40 and it was 5cents cheaper but so is there station for everything els. Our flying j and TA only have 40cetain at the light truck pumps. I wish they had 45 in Western NY
Im going to try the Motocraft cetain boosters. its in a 20oz bottle and is 4oz to 25gal. the stanadyne is 8oz to 30gal. stanadyn is $2.75 per tank ford is $1.40 per tank. The dealer said he can get the 1gal jugs of motocraft for around $30 so that makes it around a dollar a tank.
From what iv herd on here the motocraft is some good stuff and iv herd the motocraft is just relabeled stanadyne. but motocraft is 4oz per 25gal and stanadyne is 8oz per 30. thats almost double.

Here's a link to an additive study that included Stanadyne and Diesel Kleen but not the Motorcraft additive. Pretty good information. I can't recall right off the top of my head but I remember reading in one of the threads on here which company make the Motorcraft additive. Bismic or adambomb may know. Anyways, here's the link:
