Diesel-Kleen overdose

[black06]

I helped a fellow forum member work on his M1008 truck today and ran into a little issue


long story short....I had a slight pouring mishap and added 16 oz of diesel-kleen(rated for 50 gallons) with cetane boost to about 5-10 gallons of mixed old diesel and fresh (truck was parked in 2001 and has run since) Am I going to destroy anything if I fire her up again?? I know the J-code diesels are a bit higher compression than their civvy counterparts

According to their website Power Service Products, diesel fuel additives, prevent gelling, clean injectors, disperse water, boost cetane, reduce emissions, improve fuel economy
16-Ounce is for Up to 40 Gallons. Wayne

I swear by Power Service.
And swear every time I purchase it.
As the price has gone way up, while the bottle size has gone way down.
I use the products daily.
Gray bottle summer.
White for winter.
Red for emergency freeze ups.

Years ago I spoke to a company rep. by phone.
I was questioning the product.
And wanted to know what would happen, by over using it.
(I am a doubting Thomas, about additives)

He sent me a packet about 2" thick, by mail.
It contained info, on various motors that they tested.
Including one on a 7.3 ltr., which ran continuously for 1000 hrs. (I think)
During this testing, they used twice the amount of additive recommended.

Then they tore down the motor, looking for wear/damage.
None occurred.

I was impressed.

I use power service to fill my fuel filters when I change them. 100% additive for 15-20 seconds doesn't hurt, and seems to clean the fuel system out nicely, so you will be fine.

You'll be fine , I use power service in everything (Diesel), It's not like mixing two cycle gas.

that's good to hear, I was just a bit worried about burning something up since the 6.2's are tempermental sometimes. I usually use the Lucas injector cleaner with my gas GM trucks and always toss the entire quart in before I fill up, but diesels are still new to me.

 

[Coal Cracker]

No prob, Even the lucas stuff will work, i've solved some minor injector sticking with it.

If a little is good, alot must be really good. Just like with the kids and cough syrup, give them a little and it reduces their cough, give them alot and you don't hear them all night.

Ok charged up the batteries tonight and fired it up with no problems. Drove around the property for 5 mins to charge the batteries. I'll swap in a fresh fuel filter this weekend and see what happens. Luckily the previous owner did the NAPA spin on filter retrofit....and left a spare filter behind the seat!

Thanks again!
