    I bought em when I had a full tank full
    of crud in my diesel tank last year. I found
    they were listed by Yanmar as an approved product.
    I could not filter and solve my problems until
    I later put in a full "fuel scrubbing" system into
    my sailboat with the fuel pump and Algae-x
    unit I bought from the Algae X folks, together
    with an extra Racor filter. The junk did not
    plug my Racor after I started using the
    additive and the Algae-X. I don't know how
    it fixed everything, but everthing is great
    now. I have had no further problems and my
    engine starts immediately on the first
    crank. I have a five year old Yanmar 3 GM 30,
    that had to crank a few seconds when I first
    bought if it was cold, and now it doesnt
    and I do not have smoke which I did before.

    thats my experience. I now run the scrubber
    and AlgaeX periodically when I am sailing.
