I use the Power Serve cetane boost in my PS about once a month, do not know how much it helps, but I do it.

Supplier I use puts a gallon of Power Service per 300 gallons of fuel prior to delivery. I usually add an extra gallon per 300 in the winter.

Hey Rich,

Drive it like you're mad at it for best results.

I wouldn't be putting anything in the fuel unless you are worried about it gellin' up in the wintertime.

Yeah, I've been told the best way to drive out grain truck with the ol' two stroke 6-71 is to slam your hand in the door in the morning so you get good and T'd off and drive it like you hate it. It seems to like the beatin so does my '96 Chevy with the 6.5L turbo. Gets the same fuel milage whether I baby it or work it over. Obviously the latter is more fun.
