How Do You Improve Mileage On The Ford F250 Diesel With The New 6.4L Engine?
The 6.4l Powerstroke diesel engine is a clean burning diesel with horsepower and torque to spare. An unfortunate side effect of the cleaner exhaust, however, is lessened fuel economy. While the truck has a far better environmental impact than its predecessors do, the hit to your fuel budget will increase when you trade in a 6.0 or 7.3 liter powered Ford for a 6.4l power train. Since disabling the pollution control devices to increase fuel mileage is illegal and will create drivability issues, there are only a few options for improving fuel mileage on the Ford F250 with the 6.4l diesel engine. Drive to the fuel station when your fuel tank is nearly empty. Pour a bottle of cetane booster into the fuel tank prior to filling the tank with diesel fuel. Drive until you deplete 95% of that tank of fuel in your F250, refill the tank with straight diesel fuel, drive until you deplete 95% of that tank and then repeat Step 1 and Step 2. Repeat steps one through three for the life of the F250. You
