Anyone Use Power Service Cetane Boost
I have read on a blog or two that using Power Service Cetane Boost helps diesel trucks run better. Anyone here use it? Does it work like they claim? Is it worth using on a 2012 F250 or just on olde...

It's been a long time since I've purchased an new truck, but I think when you buy a new Ford diesel truck, you have to sign a document that acknowledges your understanding of certain maintenance requirements and modification prohibitions in order to maintain the factory warranty.
For the 2012 Ford diesel that the OP has, that document says this:
Therefore, given the oft reported sensitivity of the Bosch HPFP in the 2011-14 6.7 Fords, I would probably avoid the use of Power Service, Power Kleen, Snake Oil, Witch Hazel, or any other product other than the PM-22A for lubricity and PM-23A for Anti-Gel that are authorized by Ford.
The cost of that engine is just too high to dicker over the text of the Magnusson Moss act.

Take Care of your Fuel Injection System
- Diesel fuel quality is critical for reliable engine operation. Motorcraft® Cetane Booster & Performance Improver, PM-22-A (U.S.) / PM-22-B (Canada) can be added to improve fuel economy, starting ability, and reduce engine wear.
- Biodiesel fuel must not exceed 20% (B20). To avoid cold weather fuel gelling, add 6 oz. of Motorcraft® Anti-Gel & Performance Improver PM-23-A (U.S.) / PM-23-B (Canada) to every new tank of fuel.
