Crank time???

Well not sure if this is normal but have noticed a diferenvce in how much cranking it takes to start truck.... Usually takes count of 2 seconds as long as I use deisel Kleen... this time I didnt want to fill it so just put a quick $30 into it and didnt throw in the diesel kleen... It seems to take 3-4 seconds of cranking before it fires up... Is the diesel fuel(min 40 ceaten)that bad that I actually need to use the diesel kleen everytime or deal with the extended cranking???..

Thanks in advance

You'll have to make that judgement yourself based on where you live, the quality of fuel and how your truck reacts. If you get these results consistantly then I think you have answered your own question.

I would say that I'm between 1 and 3 seconds. Have had no reason to actually time it. Sometimes are quicker than others just like a gasser can be.
