    I’ve used the Lucas and power Services cleaner products. I never actually knew they worked until My friends Pete With Detroit would blow Fire out exhaust and lope like crazy on start up and would finally idle once it warmed up. I recommended Lucas Cleaner/ and Power services products to him and he asked how much should he put in his tank. I said try whole Gallon and then half gallons for a week and see it it works. About a week later We fired our trucks up in the morning and it purred like a kitten. Smooth as Can be. Total believer in it after that. Great example of a product that works in this video.

    Watched this video several months back & kept it in mind as 'any' fix is a good fix if it works (and doesn't burn the barn down...) . My old International 125C (track loader) has been sputtering after some apparently bad fuel so I swapped out the (nearly new) old filters and filled them both up with Lucas Injector Cleaner (run whatcha brung). Ran it for a while and it seems smooth as silk but letting it heat soak now before restarting. Just wanted to say 'thanks' as I would have been too paranoid about putting 'pure' additive into the filter if I hadn't watch you waking up your truck's motor. Hey - I'm no diesel expert but I get plenty of people telling me to add transmission fluid to my diesel - what's up with that?
    Thanks again!

I have a pre-emission C-15 with what i call a little miss. the mechanics i've took it to say the injectors done good on a "cutout" test and "pressure" test. do you think it would be safe to fill both primary and secondary filters with seafoam or power service to see if it helps?

      Diesel Purge is great stuff. Use it by it's self. Pull your filters and dump out the diesel and refill them with the Diesel Purge. I made a 1/2 gallon tank and and had the return line go to it. My tank was a clear food container. The supply also came from my home made tank.

Thanks

    Should’ve used the atf, & just threw 2-3gallons in the tank or just filled up the bucket w atf.
    Atf IMO works better than most of the fuel cleaners out there just because it’s a rly good detergent. I had a 7.3 PSD that like u was running kinda rough. Threw in a gallon of atf in the tank, then a week later it was a noticeable difference in power gain. Still had one weak injector, but I was able to drive the truck for another 6 months before the injectors puked their guts, & finally bought a single new injector to replace the cylinder I knew was bad after doin a check by removing the plug wire on each cylinder.
    I determined it was cyl 4 which seemed odd, cuz it’s usually 1, 2, 7, & 8 that usually go first.
    Bought an injector that would work for that year of truck, put it in, & that’s where the issues started.
    It just wouldn’t start at all, so I threw some blue devil shit in the coolant for the head gasket which helped, but I think I had a seal that wasn’t sealing right.
    After I had done the treatment I took it for a drive, & it had its power back.
    Another week or two if driving I could tell it was getting harder, & harder to start. Like the other injectors were goin out.
    So abt 6 months prior I had done a little experiment w Veg oil, & mixed a filtered batch 50/50. It worked ok, but then it sat for a week.
    Also goin on at the same time 6 months after that experiment when I started having issues w injectors I was looking for another truck cuz I was 17, & couldn’t afford to fix it.
    The truck needed tie rods, wheel bearings, all new power steering system, & now a whole host of engine issues.
    Now to fix all of that would cost just in parts about 1-2K for injectors, 500 for power steering components, $100 for wheel bearing stuff, & probably ball joints since it’s over 300k. I say over 400k cuz the truck had the factory CPS, never touched, stock IPR, & stock HPOP. Over 400-500k 7.3s need the HPOP changed, & IPR.
