The only fuel additive that actually improved fuel economy in my trucks is the Motorcraft product and that was in my 6.0 psd.
My '12 6.7 psd it doesn't seem to improve fuel economy on a already steller fuel economy performer as is.

After all this discussion I will not own a Ford Diesel. If ford could not design its new engine to function with our current fuel,since they started with a clean sheet after the reduced sulfur, then they did not use thier big brain power to its fullest. JMHO.

per ford use as much cetane boost as you like but not anything with anti gel. the anti gel works weird with the wax in the fuel. the higher the cetane the better the burn.

Take Care of your Fuel Injection System
- Diesel fuel quality is critical for reliable engine operation. Motorcraftยฎ 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 Motorcraftยฎ Anti-Gel & Performance Improver PM-23-A (U.S.) / PM-23-B (Canada) to every new tank of fuel.

What is the approx. cetane rating of a 99/1 biodiesel? (99% bio/1% petro) I ran several tanks in my '02 D'max and noticed several things. Engine was more quiet, exhaust was more mellow, mileage about the same, smelled like french fries going down the road and it fixed the issue I was having with my fuel sending unit. Since these guys quit selling retail, I don't buy it any more and use a dose of Diesel Kleen every couple tanks. I only drive it every other week for errands unless I'm towing.

The wiki article I posted has a section for alternate fuels. Looks like Bio generally has a pretty high CN. But since it isn't regulated, it probably varies a lot. 99/1% - makes me wonder why they even bother with the 1% petroleum. Seems insignificant.
