Opti-Lube Diesel Fuel additive - F250 Gallon Tank Long Bed = ___?

[jwplunkett]

Good evening all

Per recent study Opti-Lube XPD ranked # 2 out of 19 Diesel fuel additives for lubrication improvement properties of the NEW ULSD Diesel fuel ( 15 PPM )

Ranked # 1 was 2% REG SoyPower Bio-Diesel

I was using Amsoil Diesel Concentrate but it was ranked at 9

Anyway I ordered 3 gallons of the Opti-Lube XPD to give it a try in a couple tank fulls of ULSD diesel in my area that is all that is being sold --- the older 500 PPM I cant locate ---- the Opti-Lube XPD is scheduled to be delivered Tomorrow .

So I looked in my Ford Owners manual for Fuel Tank Size so I may mix the proper ratio recommended by Opti-Lube XPD --- has a 256:1 ratio based on a 26 Gallon Tank per study --- 13 Oz per 26 Gallon tank ---- estimated cost = $ 4.35 Tank.

Finally for my question the Factory FORD Owners manual has Four Tank sizes listed ( Page 289 )
-I believe I have the Long Box tank that states 38 Gallons is this correct ?
-Does long box also cross reference to long Bed ?

I have a regular cab long bed Model Yr 2006 FX4 Auto Trans

Your assistance as always is most appreciated

Many thanks for your forum web return

Exactly what I was looking for and MORE
-F250 Model Yr 2006 FX4 Reg Cab Long Box ( Bed ) 6.0 Diesel = 38 Gallon Fuel Tank

-Per my calculations Will require 19 Oz of Opti-Lube XPD
( Multi-Purpose + Anti-Gel, Cetane Improver, Demulsifier )
319 Micron Improvement
256:1 Ratio
For anyone interested + to do own independent research I have provided Opti-Lube XPD web link
Diesel Fuel Improver
Hope this helps a bit

Study was based on a 26 Gallon Tank ( 13Oz per Tank in study )
Study stated $ 4.35 Tank

I have printed out a hard copy and will insert same into owners manual
