DIESEL Products II - Old & New - great for every diesel truck owner!

Years ago (over 11) I met at a SEMA conference with some old friends at Mahle Motorsports and they asked what they could build to get into the diesel market?

I told them build us a lighter, tougher and coated piston for the 5.9 Cummins that would stand up to at least 1000 hp and double that for torque. It took them about 9 months and developed one of the toughest top selling piston in the market today not only for the Cummins but also for the Powerstroke and Duramax.





Mahle Motorsports has stepped up and put into production one of the toughest OEM replacement piston when rebuilding your diesel motor.  NOW they have again taken it a step further and continue to offer the best for our diesel trucks . . . MAHLE Motorsport now offers the market’s most comprehensive line of Dodge Cummins diesel performance pistons with the addition of its 6.7L Diesel PowerPak Piston Kit (part #197850313). This kit was developed for diesel drag race and pulling applications for the Dodge Cummins 6.7L.


Featuring MAHLE's exclusive M142P alloy because of its high temperature and strength and low expansion characteristics, this PowerPak kit includes German steel pins and a stainless steel Nitride ring set - 1/16", 1/16" and 3/16". The pistons feature a hard anodized top ring groove for added durability and increased longevity, and GRAFAL® coating for reduced drag, scuffing friction and cylinder bore wear. For this kit, MAHLE also offers the choice of a thermal barrier crown coating.

The pistons are designed with a modified bowl that mimics the design used in industrial QSB applications. This design reduces erosion issues caused by high pressure, long duration or advanced injection timing.  The pistons feature oversized valve pockets that are 0.200” deep allowing up to 1.500” intake and a 1.450” exhaust valve diameter.  Fully radiused valve pockets reduce stress and fatigue cracking. With a 2.722” compression height the pistons allow for 0.010” deck machining while retaining the stock piston protrusion.

Second product that is new to our market comes from the manufacturers of PEAK anti-freeze, Blue DEF and many industrial products for the Class 8 industry. Last year PEAK released the BLUE Diesel Additive for use in all diesel engines! I have used it on my old 12V for over a year about every other tank and it does help big time with the low quality diesel fuel I buy, increased pickup and less smoke!

BLUE Diesel Additive comes in several different varieties to best fit your use, DIESEL Motorsports has been passing samples of PEAK BLUE All-Season Diesel additive at our shows! 



PEAK has released a NEW line of diesel additives known as Blue, giving you over five different solutions for your diesel fuel. Look to a well-known name for quality: Diesel Anti-Gel; Emergency Diesel Thaw and All Season Diesel Boost! Samples of these PEAK products are found at all of DIESEL Motorsports events and at your local automotive supply stores such as O'Reilly, Auto Zone, Menards, Orschleins, and TSC Tractor.

Blue™ ALL SEASON Diesel Boost is a multifunctional, high-performance detergent additive that uses advanced technology to clean deposits in all diesel applications. Its proprietary, advanced formula is designed for today’s High Pressure Common Rail (HPCR) fuel injection system as well as conventional diesel engines. The detergents in Blue™ ALL SEASON Diesel Boost will keep critical engine parts clean which leads to:• restored fuel economy – up to 8%!• cleaner, less sooty combustion - Diesel Particulate Filters (DPF) lasts longer! • smoother running engine – increased cetane by 6 numbers! 


Blue Diesel Anti-Gel is a multifunctional diesel fuel additive that contains not only cold flow improver to protect fuel from gelling, but also contains cetane for better cold starts and injector cleaner to clean critical engine parts. Diesel Anti-Gel is designed to ensure reliable fuel system performance in all diesel applications and is compatible with all fuel system components. Effective in biodiesel blends up to B20.


Blue Emergency Thaw diesel fuel additive is designed to quickly reliquefy gelled diesel fuel and thaw frozen fuel filters in extremely cold environments. Blue Emergency Thaw is an ideal solution for fuel tanks that have not yet been winterized and encounter unexpected freezing conditions.


Emergency Diesel Thaw is designed for use in all diesel applications and is compatible with all fuel system components. This technology is for emergency use only. Use Diesel Anti-Gel as the long-term preventative maintenance measure to ensure continued reliable fuel system performance during severe winter conditions.


Blue Agri-Clean is a clean diesel fuel additive that is specifically-designed for agricultural and off-road vehicles. It contains world-class detergents to clean and protect critical engine parts delivering an increased fuel economy of up to 8%. Blue Agri-Clean also works instantly to help remove water in diesel fuel tanks.


Blue MICRO-B-GONE is an advanced, fast-acting diesel biocide that kills tank microbes that have developed along the water/fuel layer in diesel fuel tanks. If left unchecked, these harmful microbes can create fuel contaminants that will plug fuel filters and acids that can corrode tanks.


Blue Clear Guard is an advanced, proprietary diesel fuel treatment that provides superior tank protection by dispersing water and reducing the chance of microbial contamination. It will also stabilize the diesel fuel, ensuring that the fuel stays fresh.
