Absolutely...After trying several brands of diesel fuel treatments, the Ford brand deffinently yields the best fuel mileage increase and the smoothest, quit engine operation I've tried to date. Great stuff!

I have been using it for over 20,000 miles with good results. They also sell it in gallon cans besides the bottles. I pay $36 + tax per gallon.

To my knowledge there is no mention of being a antigel also. Where I live the fuel is treated before delivery, and if it's forcasted to drop in the single digits I will add Dieselkleen to be on the safe side.

Ford does make an antigel version. Just ask for it!

i use it when ever i can pick it up at a ford dealership or diesel shop. my truck runs better with additives. i also use diesel kleen and rbp.
QUESTION: you know when you tune gas trucks and they have tunes for 91 octane for example.

is it more important to run diesel cetane additives when tuned?
