20 years ago, I worked with a guy that once drove gasoline tankers. He said that he'd get in line at the refinery, add his "brand's" additive package to the tanks, then fill up with the same gasoline that every other tanker was getting, name brand or not.

I have a 2015 Ecodiesel and the truck is awesome. It is doing what I bought it for, great fuel mileage and excellent tow capabilities. All this SCR/DPF/emission controls is not easy on the engine, thanks for all the tips.

When I had a 2007 Jeep CRD, I stopped for fuel in Quincy, CA. The station had an antique pump for diesel. I had to go inside to activate it. The owner pointed out that that pump dispensed diesel fuel. I mentioned that the Jeep ran better on it. He couldn't believe that a Jeep ran on diesel. I said that well, you won't see much here as Cali won't approve these diesel Jeeps. Long story short, after filling my tank he was all agog to hear the engine. He was quite delighted! Amazed at how quiet it was.

Notice how at beginning of the video. He told a story about the piping company having problems with their trucks. This is a classic example of creating a problem that doesn’t exist so he can sell you something you don’t need. I’m driving a 2016 diesel truck now with 276k miles. It has the original common rail injectors and I’ve never put any addictive in the tank.

i have an 02 f350 7.3 9 inch lift on 37 in tires with banks stinger+ kit. the banks stuff really woke the engine up and made it fun to drive. over time i did notice the truck not dropping a gear when i mashed the pedal. i did the arch oil treatment thanks to powerstrokehelp and it helped out quite a bit. over time the truck still had great cold start but it never dropped a gear when i mashed the pedal
some how fordtech dude and hotshots came across my feed. so i checked out the cost on amazon and found it quite a bit cheaper than arch oil . i ended up with the diesel extreme and the edt. at this point i have 1/2 a bottle of the diesel extreme/boost in the tank . ran about 5 miles down the road and i'll be damned. mash the pedal the truck drops a gear turbo whines up and off we go. instant gratification. totally happy with these additives.

I just bought a 2016 eco diesel  Outdoorsman. Thamk you for all the info in your videos, especially your video about why you wouldn't buy a Ford. I had a 2013 FX4 with Perellis. I had issues with tires, rear window defog, shocks, air conditioning, transfer case, 4x4. hopefully I have better luck, thanks again.

Hi I'm from Canada and I work on European cars and I get a lot of Diesels and the fuel quality is great I'm from New Brunswick and I never see common rail pump failures we replace fuel filter as per manufacturers recommendations at 30 000 km's and I personally use fuel conditioners one thing to look for is to make sure the stuff that you put in the tank is clean Diesel safe meaning sulphur less than 15 particles per million.

I find it very hard to believe that a great run state like Illinois has a problem in overseeing fuel quality.

[Deuceblank]

just got mine 2016 ecodiesel and love it, it aint no hemi or 3/4 but im going to save 800-1200$ a year in fuel! i will be buying that fuel additive for every tank from now on.

[TrogeyGolf]

It's Ford makuloco! Didn't know you had a different channel! Finally upgraded from Ford's to a ram 2500 with Cummins motor. Any chance you'll talk about those? I did so many services on my own Ford's because of your tips and tricks! Glad to see you're still at it!!! Smart mind!

[billthompson]

Great video!  always trying to learn.  Since the Govt cut down the lubricating sulfur content to try and ruin our engines, we have been adding a small amount of light weight engine oil to the fuel tank at each fill up.  Our diesels seem to like it just fine.  keep smiling!

[grantbrown]

very informative, 123K on a 96' 7.3 looking to keep it running smooth !

[JH-bqzr]

You simply put out the best videos, I just found your channel

[raycalandra]

Great info. as always. I have followed you for years when I had a 2010 Expedition with the 5.4. Now I recently bought a 2020 Ram 1500 Ecodiesel. Love it! Just one concern about the Hot Shot Secrets Every Day Diesel. How does 1 ounce of additive effect 25 gallons of fuel? It's hard to believe that it would even make it down the fill tube, let alone mix with the fuel.

[ojbarberena]

WOW. thank you so much for sharing. I live in Colombia South America and our fuel is terrible. I'm going to order some of the additives you recommend for my Nissan Patrol ZD30DI diésel.

[Losermachine]

I’m from IL and this Shit is true ! Pump to pump it’s totally different. Some of them make my engine knock like hell and make my idle erratic.

[jtrujillo]

sir,
I just wanna say thank you for these awesome videos. very informative and clear for those of us that are not mechanics. I own a 2016 dodge ram longhorn Laramie eco-diesel 1500. best truck ever!

[cubey]

Maybe it's my old rugged Ford IDI (6.9) but I haven't had any problems in the 15 states (central and Western States) I have been in. I use Power Service products for my additive.

[Coyote]

Oh man such great content. Why did you stop making videos? Thanks for your hard work

06 Chevy needed new turbo at 80, 000-warranty. And again at 140, 000. Started adding a correct additive instead. After 10, 000 miles cleared up the turbo vanes that I was told were "sticking". That was 4 years ago. FYI
