Message: [QUOTE="Powerstroke Cowboy, post: 877331, member: 610"] Yes Conklin is very expensive. I would personally not run it in every tank. I would use it for TOPS of two tanks Just to clean the fuel system, Then switch to a product the is made to keep your fuel system clean PLUS ad cetane at the same time. I clean injection system imho is the besy place to start to get the best economy and reliability you can. Then from there keep it clean but add cetane at the same time. I have been told the FORD cetane boost -cleaner and Rev-X cetane-cleaner are some of the best. I just have not tested them yet. I would say they would be good. After all the in-cress the Cetane number of the fuel. BUT i do not know about the cleaner end of it. The seafoam cam in as number two as a fuel system cleaner. I would only use it if i wanted to clean my injection system. Other then that I would only use the stuff that has a cetane boost. You could start out by using the injection system cleaner then switch to a cetane improver that can also clean. Powerservice had for the most part has always worked for me. There are some people that hat the stuff and others that love it. Again it has always worked for me. BUT that was with stock Injectors. I am not sure now how good it is working with these 300/200 injectors. I have not been able to test it yet in the summer. In the winter I am only getting 15 to 16 depending on how long i let it idle. Pulling about 10,000 I was getting 11 to 11.7 .. This was all in the winter. Come summer I hope to have some better test of real world driving tests. The cleaner i can test on the bench. BUT cannot test the MPG gains on the bench. And winter is not a good time for that. I will be running a good cleaner then trying Fords fuel additive, Rev-X fuel additive, Stanadine fuel additive, Powerservice fuel additive, I might even see what conklins and seafoam cleaners do for MPG gains. But the test will be centered on teh fuel additives that claim a boost cetane numbers. We will see for better or for worth. Another thing to keep in mind, what works good in my 7.3 might not work good in your 6.4 or in a 6.0. I have even seen 7.3 that do not respond the same to the same fuel additive. I hope this help your question. On a side note I plan to start carrying Conklin fuel cleaners and additives. [/QUOTE]
