Diesel fuel supplements are often used to improve diesel engine performance and operability. The amount of supplement to add per gallon of diesel fuel depends on the type of supplement and the desired level of performance enhancement. For example, at temperatures above 0°F, adding 16 ounces of Diesel Fuel Supplement + Cetane Boost to 40 gallons of diesel fuel is recommended. On the other hand, for a cetane boost of 3, a ratio of 1 ounce of supplement per 3 gallons of fuel is suggested.

Diesel Fuel Supplement + Cetane Boost: 16 ounces to 40 gallons
Diesel Fuel Supplement + Cetane Boost is a winterizer/antigel used during the cold winter months to prevent fuel gelling and protect fuel filters from plugging with ice and wax. It is available in various sizes, including 12-ounce, 16-ounce, 26-ounce, 32-ounce, 64-ounce, 80-ounce, 1-gallon, 2.5-gallon, 55-gallon drum, 260-gallon tote, and bulk.
The amount of Diesel Fuel Supplement + Cetane Boost to be added depends on the temperature and the amount of diesel fuel. For example, at temperatures above 0°F, the entire 16-ounce contents should be added to 40 gallons of diesel fuel. When temperatures drop below 0°F or when using biodiesel blends, the entire 16-ounce contents should be added to 20 gallons of diesel fuel.
The Truck and Engine Manufacturers Association (EMA) emphasizes the importance of cetane levels in diesel fuel, stating that diesel engines generally perform better with Cetane Numbers above 50, compared to the national average of 45.
Additionally, Power Service's Diesel Fuel Supplement + Cetane Boost is designed to be effective in all diesel fuels, including Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel (ULSD) and biodiesel blends containing up to 20% biodiesel (B20). It helps prevent fuel gelling, even in temperatures as low as -40°F, and boosts cetane numbers for faster cold starts.
Customers have also reported improvements in fuel mileage and engine performance when using Diesel Kleen Cetane Boost. One customer mentioned achieving up to 55 MPG on the highway and an average of 45 MPG for city and highway driving by adding Diesel Kleen plus Cetane Boost to their diesel fuel.

Biodiesel blends: 16 ounces to 20 gallons
Biodiesel is set to become a more widely used component of diesel fuel as pressure increases to reduce America's reliance on fossil fuels. Some states have mandated that all diesel fuels contain varying percentages of biodiesel, and the US government has authorized a B20 fuel blend (20% biodiesel and 80% diesel fuel) for use in non-strategic applications.
Biodiesel blends have poor cold-weather performance, high water content, and are susceptible to microbial infestation. Therefore, biodiesel fuels require additives for reliable performance. Power Service offers a range of diesel additives that are effective in treating biodiesel blends.
For instance, the Power Service Diesel 911 additive can be used to reliquify gelled fuel. To do this, add 16 ounces of Diesel 911 to each 20 gallons of fuel in the tanks. Additionally, to remove water and prevent fuel-filter icing in biodiesel blends, add the entire contents (16 ounces) of Diesel 911 to 20 gallons of diesel fuel.
The Power Service Diesel Fuel Supplement +Cetane Boost is another additive that prevents fuel gelling and protects against fuel-filter icing in diesel fuel engines. When using biodiesel blends, the additive ratio varies with temperature. At temperatures above 0°F, add 64 ounces to 125 gallons of biodiesel blend. When temperatures drop below 0°F, add 64 ounces to 125 gallons of the blend.
For single treatments, a general rule of thumb is to add 1 ounce of additive to every 3 gallons of diesel fuel.

For every 1,500 gallons of diesel fuel, add one gallon of the supplement. When temperatures fall below 0°F or when using biodiesel blends, the ratio changes to one gallon for every 750 gallons of diesel fuel.
The treatment ratio for the Power Service Diesel Conditioner is 1:400, or one ounce for every three gallons of diesel fuel. This means that for every 10 US gallons of diesel fuel, you would need to add approximately 3.33 ounces of the Power Service Diesel Conditioner.
