I used some Diesel Kleen today...
and I haphazardly poured all 32 ounces into a full tank of fuel I hope I don't hurt the fuel system in any way, has anyone else ever done that before as well? And if you did, did anything happen for the better, or for worse?

This like SeaFoam or B12 but for a diesel motor? If so, I've had good luck with those in the fuel systems of gas powered vehicles...

will not hurt
I have poured the whole bottle of Diesel Kleen in the tank on purpose. It will be more concentrated and do more cleaning and not hurt in any way. It actually increase your Cetane level more with a full bottle. You will notice more power and smoother running, but I usually just pour in a few ounces cause I can't afford the $4 bottle per every tank full.
I like the Red Line Power 85 or Red Line Diesel Fuel Catalyst avail. at Autozone a lot more than Diesel Kleen.

What do you think would happen if I combined a bottle of Redline Diesel Fuel Catalyst with a full bottle of Diesel Kleen?

Too much of a good thing is.. well, fine. A lot of additives (though I don't specifically about diesel kleen) use biodiesel methyl esters as a base, so even 100% additive should work fine. Of course, 16$ a gallon is a little pricey.
I just throw in the recommended few ounces per tank. A full bottle isn't a problem, but I don't know that you'd be getting all the benefits. It seems to me that for fuel additives, consistent use would be better than inconsistent use. But thats just me. If you've got the money to spend, go for it. peace, sam

I usually use Redline, but I did not have any, but I found some Diesel Kleen and just used that. I'll probably go back to Redline when I fill up again.

Is Diesel Kleen readily available at service stations? How are people buying it? I found an online source (can't remember the name) and purchased a 96 oz. bottle. I'd like to purchase it in a smaller form factor so I didn't have to measure it out every fill up - kind of a PITA.
