Question:

questions on adding diesel additive diesel kleen + cetane boost?

the bottle is 32oz. The only instructors it says is:Cetane Boost 32 oz. Treats3 Numbers.100 gallons6 Numbers.50 gallonsWhat is the difference between 3 and 6 numbers? My tank is 22 gallons. So I should bring it to almost empty, and then put how much of this stuff in before I fill the tank?My car also had this weird problem of the engine turning off when idle (radio stayed on). A guy suggested to me could be water deposits in the fuel tank. I got this cheap stuff called Heet, gas-line antifreeze water remover. The guy told me to put the bottle in the tnak before I fill it up for the next two fill-ups.On the back it says ‘do not use with 2-cycvle gas or diesel engines, use Iso-HEET instead - what is 2-cycle?my car 1991 mercedes 350 sdl.Thanks appreciate any help_)

Answer:

copper pipes are too expensive just to protect the consumer
When in doubt ask a service station manager or a trucker. It has something to do with the fuel. I never use it. 2 cycle is chain saw motor and lawn mower motors that take a gas/oil mixture fuel. Those are the engine that are always blowing blue smoke. Also used on leaf blowers. Get the Iso-Heet. Good thing you caught that. Water deposits in the fuel tankmore likely that the fuel filter needs draining(water will be collected in there). Should be under the hood and have a little valve underneath which you open every 6 months to get rid of water that is in the fuel.
Have you noticed that an Owners Manual to every Mercedes car says: Do not use fuel additives, they do not do anything and may damage the engine. I tend to agree. There are additives for every problem. If they worked, we would never had to FIX cars.
