It is recommended to use Everyday Diesel Treatment with every fill-up. * Verified by 3rd Party ASTM D-6079 Testing ![]() EDT also combats moisture via water dispersants, rust & corrosion inhibitors and contains a fuel stabilizer. It is infused with our LX4 Lubricity Extreme to improve diesel fuel lubricity by up to 26%*, reducing the wear scar by up to 159 microns* ensuring diesel fuel passes the lubrication recommendations set by the Engine Manufacturer’s Association (EMA) of a wear scar maximum of 460 microns. EDT also cleans fuel injectors to maintain efficiency & proper spray patterns.ĮDT provides maximum protection for fuel systems and their components, especially fuel injectors and fuel pumps. and you're done.EVERYDAY DIESEL TREATMENT contains a concentrated level of cetane booster which tremendously upgrades power and improves fuel economy in all diesel engines. If you are really concerned figure out where the gauge needs to be to take 25 gallons to fill it up add 2 oz. This is a very long-winded "you are overthinking this" answer. Modern engines run best at 50 and up to 53. I think you would be hard-pressed to ever get diesel with a cetane above 41 at the pump. It costs money for refineries to increase cetane and there is absolutely no benefit to them or the fuel retailer. The minimum Cetane rating at the pump is supposed to be 40. It takes more to raise the level from 40-45 than it does from 45-50. Having said that Cetane is not raised in linear relation to the amount added. ![]() A performance dose of EDT is about 2.5 oz for 30 gallons, with all the other additives and lubricants in that 2.5 oz there is not a lot of room left for much Cetane boost. of Amsoil Cetane Boost to increase cetane 8 points in 30 gallons. Not an "up to" or just "boosts Cetane" if you look at that spec sheet it takes 6 oz. Amsoil is the only cetane boost I have found that actually gives you a boost per gallon per oz reading. EDT for all the benefits it lists, but the performance dose of EDT does not have enough volume to significantly boost Cetane. I use and will be using in the new truck EDT. The will "boost up to 7 points" is super subjective. ![]() EDT is excellent and will protect your injector pump etc money very well spent. I have ecodiesel on order, this will be my second one. No towing, but do drive it to 80MPH on highway routinely with fuel additive in every tank since bought new - dont know if that plays a role in active regens (ones that show up on dash)/ I have 18000 miles in first year - and have YET to have active regen/green light come on my dash. I do mix driving, but every week do fair amount of highway driving. Will running performance dose or more be harmful for the engine ? Most diesel is 40 cetane and supposedly EDT boosts is upto 7 points, so in theory it helps the engine ? I try to pump at BJs gas station that does high turnover of fuel - found this much better than cumberlands and even Shell or Mobil fuels (just subjectively while driving). ![]() EDT said, that fuel additive is doing its job by separating water and that extra treatment is NOT going to harm the engine - I do notice quieter motor operation AND definitely smoother/easier response from the motor with Good Diesel and Additive. Now, with EDT, I have drained water from my fuel filter MORE so than without the treatment. I asked EDT customer support, if slightly higher (0.5 oz - 1 oz) MORE than performance dose would do any harm to engine, and they said NO. I have been guessing, but always put in close to Performance dose and usually even a bit more. So 33 gallon makes it challenging to estimate the exact amount of EDT for fuel tank - especially when the tank isnt fully empty.
