I haven't it, but I know that Power Service Diesel Kleen which raises Cetane has a similar effect on cleaner burning. One Ford truck I had refused to go into regen and I had mountains left go go in limp mode. I stopped at a Walmart and added a couple of 64 oz Summer versions and after a few miles, it did its regen. It was just a random thought that it might work since I knew it raised the Cetane level.

I think any product that boosts Cetane should do the same thing.

I can't remember when I last saw a website so full of meaningless buzzwords.

Reminds me of Slick50 back in the day.
Hahahah………I remember stocking the shelves with that stuff…..Along with “Motor Honey”…….Ahhhhh the “good ole days"

My “snake oil alarm” went into overdrive when I clicked on that site though.

I think I’ll spend my 20 dollars on something worthwhile…..Like cigars, or rum..;);)

It is the same product, I took the link from his video.
Hurray! A fuel additive that can be used in diesel OR gasoline engines!

It simultaneously raises the Cetane rating while lowering the ignition temperature!

How does this magic goo work you ask?

Because of this, the flame in your engine’s combustion chamber isn’t propagating only from top to bottom. It’s also propagating from all of the Efficiamax® Ten-35 molecules in the fuel
Wait. Isn't that pretty much the dictionary definition of knock?

You guys might bang on the slick 50, but I had a 99 GMC, V6 and the valves tapped on start up since the day I got it,, ran like a find swiss watch,, tick tick tick,, anyways, wallyworld or somebody was getting rid of the slick 50, so for like 2 bucks, what did I have to lose,, had 60 some K on it,, same oil, same mileage change and added that jug of slick 50. Went to work the next morning,, and tick tick tick ,,,,,,, and then nada ,,,,,,,,it stopped making noise, 240K on the clock I got rid of it. And it never made a noise after that oil change.

I worked with a guy that bought a new Ford pickup, he always took care of his vehicles so he used Slick50 in it and told everyone that they should too. After maybe a year the engine was spent so he traded it taking a large loss. I told him that Slick50 cost him about $5000 a quart.

All of these additives could all be worthless, or maybe some of you guys don't know as much as you think you do. :D.
