Mr. Coronado: since i'm allergic to unsubstantiated bs and other forms of nonsense here is the link to the Texas DOT Test Results, D.O.T. Test | RxP.

I'm not a rep in any way for the company. I'm not even recommending the product at this point. I've just reported my 3 to 4 day experience with the product in my gas engine 04 Jeep Grand Cherokee w/ 118,xxx miles. My interest is very keen because based on the claims it seems everyone would be using this product since its been around for a long time. I had never even heard of it until a few days ago. I don't fully understand radiant containment technology, but it appears to increase the efficiency of fuel, clean carbon, lower emissions and according to the website increase cetane(slightly) and increase lubricity(slightly). Sounds like a winner to me.

I'm currently only running Ford Cetane Booster as recommended by ford, but I'm considering adding Stanadyne Lubricity at every fill up. I'm very hesitant to mix additives due a fear of potential unintended consequences and now that I'm having a good experience with RxP I'm not sure which way I want to go.

 

p_arbor, not trying to give u a hard time nor am i trying to change ur mind. it's great tat u found something tat works for u. i'm all for tat.

however, when u consider the flip side of the coin, the 2 stroke oil will already add to the lubricity tats helpful in our trucks and it won't cost an arm or leg. tats the main thing in our consideration. it's a win-win if u ask me. cheap and it helps.

there have been a bunch of independent studies out there. we just have to sift thru it and see way makes TRUE sense. i'm not calling anybody names but some of these supposed facts and figures may not be as accurate as we would like to think. i'm just saying we have to take everything in with a pinch of salt but at the same time, be open to the possibility of good numbers.

i agree. the ford cetane booster works but it's not cheap. from my personal experience, i feel tat the ford cetane booster is more concentrated than the cetane booster from dieselkleen. but adding 2 stroke oil helps a whole bunch too.

just my 2 cents. it's my opinion. take it any way y'all want. or not. lol. have a great day y'all!

 

thanks Snuggyworm... I think I understand what is going on now. I'm discussing RxP since the thread is titled "Anyone using RxP?". Others are making suggestions about what they are running. Although I appreciate the information it really is a different discussion.

RxP is an additive that removes carbon in older engines. It does claim to have some added benefits of increasing cetane and lubricity slightly. I'm not running it for either of those reasons. I'm running it to remove carbon and reduce emissions which is good for the environment.

I've had a chance to try it in my 6.0 and the benefits are not as dramatic as when I added it to my older gas engine. I do notice it is a little quieter, but that is about it so far. The fuel mileage appears to be about the same and it doesn't seem significantly more responsive. This could be because my truck has been immaculately maintained and doesn't have any stiction or injector issues. I'm going to run it through 3 full tanks as the direction indicates and I'll post back if I notice any changes.

With regard to other additives like the ones posted, I never tried them because Ford recommends not adding any additives to the fuel and the benefits seemed unclear based on what I know about the need for lubrication in diesel fuel. I know the previous owner didn't add anything to his fuel and never had any injector problem and as I mentioned there is absolutely no stiction. I filed this under if it ain't broke don't fix it. 2 stroke oil appears to be the best cheapest option and theoretically should work, but if it was that simple why hasn't for gotten on board. Are there any unintended consequences??? I don't know.

Stanadyne is an injector company and a well regarded product among big rig operators and their product was well regarded on the list above. I was toying with the idea of adding that to my fuel, but I'm not sure since Ford says no. That is where I am currently. Doesn't mean what anyone else is doing is wrong or better or worse.

The RxP seems like more of a temporary treatment rather than a ongoing every time I fill up expense like the Stanadyne/2 Stroke Oil etc. I'll probably try the Stanadyne Lubricity after I'm done trying the RxP. If it helps the engine great, but I would really like the engine to quiet down as much as possible.

 

I can understand where ur coming from. 2 stroke oil does make a difference. I only started using it this year. Had the truck for 3 years now. Hope it works out for u!

Ok, ty. I'm sure there is a difference, but what exactly do you notice is better???

 

No wonder, it's not Texas, it's Florida and 8 years ago. I couldn't figure out what TxDOT would be doing testing fuel additives.

 

You were asked if you were a rep and you said no,and in the same post laid out what sounded like a strong sales pitch. I simply called like I saw it. However,if an apology is due...sorry

Coronado, you are correct. I have been trolling FTE 7 years for this moment

 

No need for any apology, but it seemed a little personal.

 

2 stroke oil is a poor man's best friend in terms of lubricity for the injectors. Lol. Imagine if u mix 2 stroke oil with fuel for ur lawn mower. Same concept. Less exhaust out the tail but it don't matter with a diesel. And it helps lubricate the injector nozzle.
