Thanks for all the info Paul, it’s always good to hear real world numbers. I’ve run Hotshot EDT since the second tank of my 2021 3500 HO. I haven’t reset my mileage since day one and as of today is says I’m at 19.9mpg overall for 9850 miles (70% highway). I did pull 2400 miles of that 9850 pulling a 5000 pound 16 foot enclosed trailer. I’ll also start pulling the toy hauler here in a couple weeks. We will see how it does on a 1500 mile trip planned. Appreciate all the videos.

[@TheRamGuy]

I have the same truck and have run Hot Shot EDT and your lie meter must be off especially with towing 25% of those miles and 30% being city. I can get 20mpg unloaded running 62 on the highway.

[@DavidBrown-jt7yi]

@@TheRamGuy well if I could send you a picture I would. I don’t have any skin in this game other than just provide what I use and what the meter is feeling me. I haven’t hand calculated anything, just telling you what the truck says.

Good video. I love my hot shots EDT. Keeps the injection pump and injectors clean and lubricated.

[@hardtruth2039]

I’ve run HotShot EDT in my 2018 Ram Cummins from day one. Mileage averages 18-19 in city and 25+ hwy when not towing.

[@JB-sv6wv]

Appreciate the testing like to see something on the diesel 911 to see if it’s anything comparable thanks for the great video

[@Barrett_Fodder]

Props for using the long neck Stanadyne style bottles. I've been using 24 of those bottles to serve down a mix of Power Service and Hotshot from larger containers for over 140,000 miles now in my 3.0L Ecodiesel. I can tell a difference in sound and low boost throttle response if I don't add it after about 2 tanks. There's definitely a difference in towing fuel economy in the neighborhood of 1.5 mpg better with my blend than without. I've tried every additive I could get my hands on in almost 30 years of driving diesel trucks and equipment and silence seems to come from lubricity and power comes from Cetane. I've found that the PS and HS blend at about 200% of the recommended blend gives me the most noticeable gain for a only a few dollars per tank.

[@mikestrucks]

Great video Paul ! I just bought some amsoil diesel all in one to try out. No idea yet if it’s good or bad...

[@craigjohnson2771]

I was over the road trucker, ran test on Lucas, Howes, Power Service and each one was used over a year before trying the next one. Power Service worked best with a increase of at least 1 + mpg, that was in a Detroit 60 series. I have a Dodge Cummins HO 5.9 and the Power Service cleaned the injectors and made a difference in running and fuel mileage. When towing my 5th wheel I can add extra PS and raise my cetane number up and that’s my 2 cents worth.

[@richardpolansky4365]

Same here with power service

[@robmcguire2142]

I always run power service get pretty good results however I did runs amsoils fuel additive and got slightly better over ps but idk if it’s worth the price increase

[@871jamie]

Same here, power service is the best! I use a full half gallon to 150 gallons every other fill up, it’s such a noticeable difference it seems unreal!

[@cnetate]

Hotshot secret edt! Project farm did a good test in sea foam. Only benefits were in carburetor. I agree on Lucas. It's way to expensive too.

[@freedomisntfree_44]

He tested it on a fuel injected ranger and it worked too…and anything else you put it in

[@bigshafe]

Archoil AR6500, very noticeable mpg gains especially when towing. Add it to your list to try.

[@mattleonard5268]

I love marvel mystery oil in the fuel and crankcase oil and power steering and automatic transmission fluid on older trucks with less smog equipment

[@franknew9001]

I have been using Marvel Mystery Oil in the fuel and crankcase oil for 7 years with great results. I use the recommended amount of 4 ounces of MMO for every 10 gallons of gas at every fill up. I have not yet used MMO in the power steering fluid or the transmission fluid. How much MMO would you suggest using in each one?

[@timm2653]

Try Hot Shots Diesel Extreme and EDT, I get Very nice gains. Also recommend sticktion elliminator or Motorkote for your oil. Getting up to +6-7 mpg on a highway after these treatments on a full tank.

[@nathanurick8320]

I’ve never used any of this until last month and I tried Lucas when I pulled my 40’ 5th wheel to the Florida keys. I got better mileage and my truck just ran smooth. 2016 3500 ram

[@scottapple2836]

Try opt lube a lot of us have used it on Cummins 5.9 and 6.7 seems to increase mileage. Was test done couple years back the opt lube xpd had highest lubricity.

[@joshadams7542]

That’s all I run in my ‘03 Duramax, it’s been great so far. I run the XPD once every oil change to get rid of deposits, then the rest of the tanks I run their XL which has more lubricity than the XPD

[@Steadierpark]

Hotshots edt and f-bomb are great too. Thanks for the review

[@pddieselpower]

Hotshot is my next test. I've heard nothing but good things about it. We'll have to see how well it does .

[@Steadierpark]

@@pddieselpower curious to see what results you get. I’ve never really ran a test but been running edt since my 21’ Cummins was new and it’s always read between the lines lol. Did a round of fuel bomb from diesel power products because it was free, I don’t think the truck runs as smooth as with hotshots.

[@travismcvey]

@@pddieselpower Paul if you haven't already done your next round of testing I'd like to see Amsoil brand throw in. I had a gallon given to me so I ran it for a while and seemed to get slightly better unloaded highway mpg over nothing. My daily commute to work was 64 miles with 5-6 miles of that being in town. Keeping it at or below 65 mph I'd average high 18s. Not running anything I stay mid to high 17s.

i've got a 15 f350 and have ran hotshot edt and archoil forget the number but i have never seen an increase i only use it to help lube everything. i get 14 mpg empty and about 12 with my enclosed trailer averaging 80 mph. i'll have to try some other brands and see if i can beat 14 empty.

[@hatersaywhat8986]

Stanadine is worth the cost. 2018 2500 6.7. Talking with the dodge mechanic(he works for Daimler as a west coast investigator). He swears by stanadine and saves the cp3 and injectors. He claims a visual difference after 100k. I run it every so often when I remember to pick it up.

Have you ever used hot shot secret everyday diesel I think that's why my 19 ram 3500 fuel pump hasn't blown up yet it still has a cp4 and 200k miles

[@kenweis7913]

Marvel mo is not only to increase fuel but lubricate the upper cylinder wall in gas everywhere else in oil.....I'm just saying marvel is very versatile and has the most benefits if you use it, seafoam in the fuel filter I'm not sure on that since it reminds me of gasoline..... I've herd of kerosene in the filters but that's the highest octane, seafoam could damage

[@mattleonard5268]

Both combined is a good thing in older trucks fuel.

[@felix8289]

Any opinion on R99 diesel? It's been replacing regular #2 Diesel at many stations here in California, which concerned me at first. However, after a running it off and on for some miles, I've been pretty impressed with it. It has a higher cetane rating than regular petroleum diesel. The engine runs a tiny bit smoother (kind of hard to tell, but you'll notice it with back to back full tanks), but there's definitely been about a 5-10% bump in fuel economy. For that reason, I've been running it almost exclusively now for about a year. I just did my fuel filter, and the thing was the cleanest I'd ever seen it, no carbon or crud at all in the filter, still white.

[@pddieselpower]

Good to hear that. I have zero knowledge or experience with that fuel. I'll try it out one day.

[@TheXOoftheRO]

sounds big

[@tonsurton443]

R99 does have some real world benefits. Been using it with OptiLube XPD for lubricity and have had great results in a 2012 ram 2500. Injectors are at 210,780 miles and no issues.

I run a ‘13 Durango with an afe cold air intake, I use (almost exclusively Shell V-Power, when available) and sea foam once a month (unless traveling and not using shell 93 or Sheets, then I use EVERY tank refill: 24.9-gallon tank.) I've noticed in my 260K+ miles, she responds, performs, and sips more efficiently in such conditions. (22C/22-26/Hwy. Yes, that's 600+ miles per tank. I can go from a suburb of Boston, MA to south of DC ON ONE tank! (1/8th fuel left when staying on 90/84/95S.) If I run southwest (90/84/287/81) I go from the suburbs of Boston to just inside the WV border - Sheetz on a tank! Just under a 1/8th tank. And I'm not light on my foot. It's worth it! I only notice a decrease in fuel econ when I'm west of the Mississippi. (AR, KS, OK, NM, AZ, NV) annual trip. *TX seems to return fuel econ to “normal”. Also, northern states like WI, MN, SD, MN, CO, UT, NE, IA even IL don't seem to have the same fuel econ as eastern states in my vehicle. Even when using E85 (flex-fuel- obvious drop in fuel econ. But all the states I mentioned decreased in econ drop fuel to the manufacturer's posted fuel econ numbers of 20/22.) I'm viewing this video as I have gained a set of dually (Ram 3500 and a Chevy 3500) 🎉and need to better understand diesel fuel econ for these trips. Thanks for reading my babbling.
