6.0L Power Stroke Engine and DrivetrainDiscussion of the 6.0L Power Stroke diesel engine and drivetrain in the 2003-Up Super Duties and Excursions. No gas engine discussion allowed except on transmissions and drivetrain that pertain to all models. Please confine discussion of topics in this forum to those items that are specific to the 6.0L Power Stroke engine.
At present I am using the Ford fuel additive/cetane booster and performance improver PM-18-A. At the moment I have a full tank of fuel with the correct ratio of this Ford additive.
Today I purchased two bottles of the Stanadyne Performance fuel additive. I want to switch to Stanadyne. Should I wait until I completetly empty my fuel tank and start afresh or would it be OK to fill the tank when it reaches half full and then start with the stanadyne? I really do not want to get the fuel tank too empty that's why i'm asking this question.
Thanks for the forum!

Re: Mixing different brand fuel additives in the 6.0
I don`t think you will have any problems,I changed from Diesel Kleen to the Ford additive mid streem with no issues.
2 reasons,to try what Ford claims plus I got the additive @ wholesale.

Re: Mixing different brand fuel additives in the 6.0
Just change over and don,t worry about it. Its not going to hurt a thing. They are just fuel additives. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shrug.gif[/img] I have tried both and noticed no difference, but I may not be as observant as most. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif[/img]

Its hard to say my mileage has increased a little(1 combo-2 highway-0 towing),but I also did a 3 1/2" down pipe around the same time of the switch of additives.
So which helped both [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shrug.gif[/img]
I never had a increase with Diesel Kleen used that for 10 months.

I have seen the same results with the Ford product... I started using it about 3 tanks back and have gained better than 1 mpg in mixed driving.... This is with ULSD, which coincidentally hit the area about the same time......
