Marshall, I am running diesel purge. I sent some directly into the fuel
filter and poured the rest into the tank. Seems to be working.
Diesel Purge will clean modestly that way. When that's all that's needed
I find that a can of Chevron Techron concentrate (concentrated version
of the stuff used as a gasoline engine injector tonic) does as well and
is usually cheaper. Using Diesel Purge properly requires that you
disconnect and put the supply and return hoses into the Purge container
(I use a clean mayonnaise jar) and run the engine to PURE Diesel Purge.
In the tank it's MUCH less effective.
Once the fuel system is CLEAN do not add anything to the fuel - until
there is another problem.
I have found that running the engine aggressively (drive it like you
stole it ;-) is the really most effective way to keep the engine clean
and running smoothly - with a dose of Diesel Purge or Techron every year
or two IF IT NEEDS IT and a shot or two of an anti-gel in the late fall
and midwinter!
