The best time to add Power Service diesel additives is while you are filling up
with fuel to ensure the quickest mixture of the additive to the fuel. However,
the
recirculation of fuel back to the engine means proper mixture will occur
regardless of the time the product is added.
No, Power Service manufactures diesel fuel additives and they should only be
added to the fuel. Power Service does not manufacture DEF. Do not add any
Power Service diesel fuel additive to the diesel exhaust fluid tank.
Yes, all Power Service products are compatible and can be used simultaneously.
Many customers use Diesel Kleen +Cetane Boost for performance improvements
even during cold weather and add Clear-Diesel Fuel & Tank Cleaner before winter
to help prevent icing issues. Diesel 911 can also be used together with other
Power Service products if needed. Always follow the instructions on each
container for best results, as using less than the recommended amount may impact
performance.
Yes, Diesel Fuel Supplement +Cetane Boost effectively treats biodiesel blends
and the directions can be found on the container label. Keep in mind that
biodiesel can
have winter operability problems at temperatures higher than standard petroleum
diesel. Refer to your owner’s manual for the biodiesel specifications
recommended
for your vehicle. Having Diesel 911 on hand for winter emergency use is always a
good idea.
Currently, only Power Service Diesel Kleen and Diesel Fuel Supplement are
endorsed by Cummins. While the other Power Service diesel additives are not
specifically
endorsed by Cummins, they are safe and effective for use in all diesel engines.
In fact, Cummins dealers have access to and can sell the entire line of Power
Service diesel
additives.
Cetane is a powerful energy compound that improves the ignition quality of fuel.
There is a direct relationship between a diesel fuel’s cetane number and its
ignition point.
The lower the cetane number, the longer the ignition delay. Fuels with high
cetane numbers burn more quickly and more completely, resulting in smoother and
quieter
running engines, quicker engine starts, more power and improved fuel economy. In
fact, The Engine Manufacturers Association (EMA) states, “Fuels with low cetane
numbers will cause hard starting, rough operation, noise and exhaust smoke.
Generally, diesel engines will operate better on fuels with cetane numbers above
50 compared
to fuels with cetane numbers of the national average of 46.”
When used as directed, use of Power Service diesel fuel additives will not void
any engine manufacturer’s warranty.
Yes, Power Service diesel additives are safe for use in any diesel engine.
Diesel Fuel Supplement +Cetane Boost (in the white bottle) is a
winterizer/antigel for use when temperatures drop below 30°F. for winter
operability.

The Arctic Formula of Diesel Fuel Supplement +Cetane Boost prevents fuel gelling
and protects against fuel-filter icing. The Winter Rescue Formula of Diesel 911
is
used when gelling or icing has already occurred and the engine won’t start. Use
Diesel 911 to get your engine running and then add Diesel Fuel Supplement
+Cetane to
prevent future gelling.
No, it will not hurt your engine to use Diesel Fuel Supplement +Cetane Boost (in
the white bottle) year-round. However, for maximum performance we recommend
using
Diesel Kleen +Cetane Boost (in the silver bottle) when temperatures are above
30°F. (Use our seasonal tip to remember white for winter and silver for summer.)
