this is a question about our detroits, kubota/yanmar diesel engines and fuel additives.
i know there are a variety of opinions on additives. i was reading on the wanderlodge site about leaky o rings on fuel injector pump o rings and how to repair them (on a kubota).
one person said he ran a diesel fuel additive. then i know there is additives to prevent algae growth.
now that we have low sulphur fuels at the pumps, it is different than what alot of our engines was expecting when they were designed (or is that the case?).
anyway, i would love to hear from some of you on what your thoughts are on putting fuel additives in. it can get pretty pricey given the size of our fuel tanks. (200-320 gallons)
thoughts?
