Diesel 911

Must have emergency item for negative temp driving. Always have a bottle in my trucks.

Ford might very well call this an alcohol and void warranty coverage if a failure occurs in the fuel system. I don't know what is in the manuals of other brand diesels. Look up the MSDS for 911 and you will find Aliphatic Hydroxy Hydrocarbons.



From the Ford owners manual:
Diesel fuel conditioner
Additives that will improve fuel cetane numbers may be used to
verify/enhance fuel quality. Use Motorcraft
or an equivalent cetane
booster & performance improver as listed in the
Maintenance product
specifications and capacities
section in this chapter. The customer
warranty may be void from using additives that do not meet or exceed
Ford specifications.
Do not use alcohol based additives to correct fuel gelling. This may
result in damage to the fuel injectors/system. Use Motorcraft
or an equivalent anti-gel & performance improver as listed in the
Maintenance
product specifications and capacities
section in this chapter. The
customer warranty may be void from using additives that do not meet or
exceed Ford specifications.

I've used it twice and it worked well both times. I'd gotten water in my diesel and it froze up the fuel lines - I think before the water sensor because the water light didn't come on.

911 is not a regular fuel additive like normal Power Serve, it's an emergency product if your diesel wont' start or stay running from frozen or jelled fuel.

I poured a bottle (32 oz) in my fuel tank and had someone else take me to work. The truck had started that morning, but died less than a half mile from home. It ran that far on the fuel in they system. It would start again by refilling the fuel filter from the fuel tank in the bed of the truck, but then die again shortly each time. Came back sometime after lunch and the 911 had worked its way through my fuel system and the truck started.

It's also supposed to work just as well for jelled fuel, but I know my fuel wasn't jelled as it was about 10 degrees and #1 fuel treated with Power Serve in the white bottles. The fuel from the tank in the bed would pump just fine.

I always carry two of red 911 bottles in my truck.

It is pretty commonly used here, especially if the machine is already gelled up.
