I don't believe in snake oil and neither does my son, but an additive did help with sticking injectors in the Cummins ISM in his truck. This ISM was made somewhere in the first six months after the engine was introduced. It would sometimes idle a little rough and a mechanic told him those electronic injectors need a little additive to keep them clean. I forget what he used but it did smooth out the idle and occasional shake under load when an injector would hang up for a little while. He watches every nickel he spends and buying the additive did add to the expense of operation in a truck that didn't get very good mileage in the first place. He does not use additive in his 1994 Cat engine with a mechanical fuel system and it does just fine. I have never used additive in my older diesels. I had the rotary Bosch pump in the 1086 rebuilt at somewhere in the 6000 hour range and now the tractor has a touch under 17000 hours without touching the pump again. It starts great down to maybe 15 degrees so the pump must still be reasonably good. I do run bio in the summer but not in the winter. Jim
