I just bought a 2001 Dodge Ram 3500 and the former owners told me I needed to add fuel additive to it. I was wondering if I actually do or if it is just for a cosmetic reason
simple, YOU NEED A NEW WINDSHIELD WIPER!
You don't have to. I think the owners are fibbing.
You don't have to but a lot of people do. Its a lot better for your truck if you do. My buddy has a 99 3500 and he puts it in every other time he fills up.
Diesel fuel will become problematic if left standing for even a few days. Get yourself an E.P.A. registered Fuel Enhancer which will: * eliminate cloud-point (no gelling to minus-40deg F.) * no separation - (Untreated diesel fuel will separate. Water will drop to the bottom of the tank while fuel floats on top. That water is sucked directly into the engine as it sits above the intake pipe.) + ensure more complete combustion thus reducing tail-pipe pollutants by 60-75% which will give you more power. The fuel enhancer should contain anti-fungal, anti-bacteria, anti-gel and antioxidant agents. With the new green additives (veggie etc.), the fuel tank will become a breeding ground for 'stuff' very quickly that will result in costly repairs. A typical treatment (see label on the bottle) is 1 OZ treats 15 gallons of fuel. (In colder temps, it typically requires 3 oz:15 gallons. Hope this helps.
