It's been very cold this week and I added some cetane booster to my
fuel.
I think I added too much, about 50 gals worth for the 25 gallons in my
tank.
Is this bad for the car?
Anyhow, I've had the car for 5 yrs/60K miles, and it has never run so
smoothly
since I did this.
It accelerates faster and seems to have much more torque. Is this the
effect
only of the cetane booster, or could it be that it radically cleaned
the injectors,
or some other effect? I have added diesel fuel treatment before,
periodically,
to clean injectors, etc. but usually added only a small amount.

It's a good thing. it's REAL good thing.
The 6 cylinder diesel was meant to burn 50-60 cetain fuel. In north america
40 cetane fuel is the norm and the 3.5 litre version suffered nasty premature
faiures because of this. Yes the cetane boost did all that good and now you're
driving it the way is was designed to be driven.
