Cummins, inc. Officially recommends power service® diesel kleen +cetane and diesel fu

[pspadditives]

We are excited to announce that leading global engine manufacturer Cummins Inc now officially endorses and recommends Power Service Diesel Kleen +Cetane Boost and Diesel Fuel Supplement +Cetane Boost for use in diesel engines!

Sounds like a financial arrangement has been made

Jeez psp, a little product placement would be nice. I just took a picture out in my
showroom to help the cause....

Sounds like a bought endorsement. Opti Lube came out on top. https://r.tapatalk.com/shareLink?ur...share_tid=177728&share_fid=90742&share_type=t

In my opinion, Optilube XPD is an excellent product. But it Doesn't appear to have any biocide. I am under the impression PS Diesel Kleen + Cetane has a small amount of biocide to deal with what could be lurking in biodiesel. Biodiesel that sits too long in storage tanks could be compromised?

Everything else is just another has-run at this point, "endorsed and recommended" doesn't get much clearer than that. Of course, it MUST be a conspiracy and a "bought" endorsement regardless of the quality of the product.

Hmmm, since Dodge endorses Cummins as engine of choice I wonder how much of THAT is just money?

Power Service has a full line of biocide additives, tank cleaners, and 911 treatments. Pretty much all inclusive and top of line products.

No conspiracy here, just sucking with a PROVEN SUPERIOR, in independent labs, product. Nothing against PS Additives...heck, I'll use them, in a pinch. You use what you want. Hell, you probably didn't even read the link I posted before letting all that **** fall outta your pie hole. Happy trails. Now, go cry to a moderator.

 

[cerberusiam]

No doubt there was a clear winner on the HHFR test, should be based on its MSDS sheets. However, "proven superior" doesn't equal "endorsed and recommended" in this case.
Maybe there is more to an "additive" that just lubrication properties? The test was clear in that it was chiefly concerned with lubrication testing, that was the big deal at the time, and anything else was just noted as claims not tested. Of course, that might take a little more research than reading one article and picking the top dog. Maybe Cummins actually did something other than read articles on the Diesel Place before they issued their statements?


All that aside, just sucking with a PROVEN SUPERIOR, in independent labs, product doesn't provide a stellar review of the efficacy. Just spelling or something deeper?

 

[Killgore]

Reading the comparison test work previously mentioned on Diesel Place, that study has been around since Washington was a corporal. If you will read the parameters and comments relative to the test, I'm sure you will note that Opti-Lube samples were submitted by the formulator. This is NOT considered legit, blind study or not. A sample by definition is to be a typical sample of the product 'off the shelf' and not from the hands of the chemist, etc.

Attacking one of our most respected contributors to this forum indicates that you are not up to speed as a member or to put it another way, you aren't from around here are you, Bub?

Do to many different blend processes You are much better off contacting your local refinery and contact the lead chemist, I find that these individuals are informative and down right know what the heck the fuel is that leaving its facility, Its tested 1000 of times monthly. Heck if you send them the additive They may test for its properties for Ya. Also additives do have there place in usage but I don't recommended them in most cases..The additive this owner used did not stop this contamination.
You are much better off using the $$$ spent on additive to add bypass filtration system Aqua-zorb filter or one that encapsulates water in fuel, the most talked about systems on the web won't stop future problem in many cases. Water is 100 times more likely to destroy HPCR systems..The picture you see the owner claimed he was running additive.

Have to agree,the huge majority of drivability problems and fuel system part failures end up being contamination.That being said I am sure FCA has paid many claims they should not have that were caused by contamination

Absolutely...And add the cost the aftermarket mods have caused Probably in the billions... GM now has encryption In the L5P My guess 128Bit, I think FCA will be their in 2018. "What" are we at now 32Bit or something and look at how long that takes to Hack.

So it has been several months now since Cummins endorsed Diesel Kleen. Has anyone done any comparisons or further research on this? I have been using Opti-Lube XPD and Stanadyne for quite some time now. However, I am getting low on Opti-lube and the Diesel Kleen is much easier to get and cheaper!

 

[CMB]

I'm interested in this as well. I'm afraid we will be told further testing is not necessary because the only adder that's endorsed is Power Service. Regardless, I'd like to see more testing.

I Live in South Dakota , only thing south about this state is that is south of north Dakota . Been using one 32oz container of power service per tank of #2 fuel . No mix of # 1 , no other additives . straight #2 and power service in white container since 2011 have not had any gelling or starting issues .

I have ran stanadyne and optilube for years. One or another since 07ish. My truck has never seen untreated fuel since i bought it and drove straight to a fuel station when new. I researched power service and would never use it. Several years ago their website said their additive surrounds water and chemically protects it while it passed safely through the motor. Their website no longer says how they address water. I think it would is risky to run water through the injection system and that is why Cummins wants water separators. If rust is found on any fuel system component warranty will not cover the repair that was caused by a contaminant. Due to this i want an additive that is a demulsifier that will help form larger water droplets that are more easily stripped out of the fuel by one of the two water separators on our trucks. I am confused why Cummins would back Power Service if they feel the need to remove water by installing water separators. I imagine it has to do with endorsement money.

Local refinery? All our fuel probably comes from Louisiana and Texas.

And I doubt it always comes from the same refinery

 

[AH64ID]

I’d like to see the study redone. I’m willing to bet every additive has been revised in the last 10 years.

Water separators (Spin-ons) don't work and in many cases cause damage. Now that being said New design on How to separate the water and store are available. Aquau-Zorb (Filters) would be the best ,but are Not legal to install on direct injection filtration system (You would need to install Auxiliary filtration System).
The rusted filters are Airdog filters and the picture needs NO words on how worthless they are (3 weeks old)

I've been running the silver bottle of PS for over a decade now.
It's relatively cheap and available everywhere.
