A recent post on The Turbo Diesel Register mentioned that Cummins officially endorses Power Service Diesel Kleen and Diesel Fuel Supplement. I own a 2016 Ram 3500 Cummins Diesel with less than 20k on it. Never considered adding fuel supplements.
The post didn't make a case for using or not using fuel additives one way or the other. Although, there were some good points brought up about low sulfur content of diesel fuel and the added benefit of increased turbo lubricity when using the additive.
I'm wondering what your thoughts are on this subject and if you diesel guys recommend using a fuel additive like PS Diesel Kleen + Cetane Boost as endorsed by Cummins?
Thanking you in advance for you posts, Smokeylew
From the 2016 RAM Diesel Owners Manual pg 73
Commercially available fuel additives are not necessary for the proper operation of your diesel engine.
From Cummins
Fuel additives for lubricity are NOT required when using commercially available #2 diesel fuel or #1 / #2 winter blend diesel fuels.
Cummins Inc. neither approves nor disapproves the use of any fuel additive not manufactured or sold by Cummins Inc. or its subsidiaries.
But if mfg/sold by Cummins they do approve :B
Personally I do NOT use additives or any BIO above 5% (above 5% has to be identified at pumps)
