not that it makes any differance to diesels, but i used to race gokarts and we were sponsered by redline when they where just starting out. i have to say that every single product they have that i have used has been very good. id be willing to bet that you would have zero issues using any of them for diesels

I have never used the Redline diesel fuel additives but, I have run their gasoline additives for years and have been very pleased with the results. Ed B

I use RedLine lubricants in my truck and car and I realy like their products. I tried their diesel additive, but I found that my mileage dropped by 2 mpg compared with power service or stanadyne.

I've used both the diesel fuel catalyst and the 85 plus (depending on availability) for the last 40,000 miles. May have slightly improved the mileage over PS silver jug.

I tried the Redline diesel additive once and couldn't discern any effect. I know that they are known for high quality products, and their motor oil is supposed to have the best additive package out there.

I use the STP... and have never had a problem... Good Fuel economy afterwards... I only use it on the next full tank after oil changes... so basically I use it once every 7500 miles...


I used the Diesel Kleen once... Not very happy at all... knocking got louder... white smoke at start up and continued till engine got to operating temp...

I ran the STP through on the next two fill ups and everything cleared right up.... So I've stuck with the STP ever since!!!

No STP in my area, but I do use something I use 12 oz of Lucas and have been very happy with it.
