re the sentence cut-off - Hmm, how'd I do that?
Thx Max - You're right, the non-concentrated method would definitely be
easier!
As far as the catastrophe that might occur, IMO I doubt it. This stuff has
been around for a very long time and if IP's were being damaged when using
it I suspect we'd have heard by now - especially with the activity of this
list.
Take care -

Larry,
I would imagine that if you simply added the DP to the fuel tank you
could avoid the scary scenario but still get all the benefits and it
would be much simpler to do as well.
What I'd like to know is if there is any credence to this scary
scenario.

Hi Max,
Well, that's a scary scenario! Let's hope it isn't true! I was
planning
to run some DP thru tonight. In the past I had to use some stuff called
Ferox to clean things. My '91 had only 99k mi on it (avg 7000/yr) and
later speaking to the PO's assistant I learned he drove it daily round
trip of about 4 miles. So it never got warm and that low temp driving
created carbon in the combustion system. I got rid of it with the Ferox
and my wife helped by putting 100 mi +/- daily which was probably the
best method.
She's now only driving 32 mi. RT daily and I always put a dose (~4 oz)
Marvel Mystery Oil in the fuel with each fill up, but the raves I hear
about Diesel Purge are so phenomenal I wanted to give it a try. Lately,
our W124 300D has been idling roughly so I thought that'd be a good
starting point - I've checked most lt the i

Larry,
Plan to spend about 15 or 20 minutes per can.
I found a thread once on mercedesshop forum where a gentleman (who
claimed to rebuild IP's for a living or some such) wrote that Diesel
Purge caused damage because it loosened and flowed all the crap inside
the pump, so the pump elements and the injectors could be damaged when
all this crap with abrasive qualities came through at once. Depending
on what's in your pump, and if it has been feed a diet of low quality
fuel and never been cleaned by diesel purge, this guy said that there
could be deposits inside minding their own business and not bothering
anything, so why mess with them? If your injectors need cleaning,
take them out and clean them by hand instead.
I supposed that using bio-diesel or VO, which has much stronger
cleaning properties than #2 ULSD, may have the same affect?
Anyone else ever heard of such a thing? Anyone have a friend in the
IP rebuild business they could ask and verify? I am skeptical; it
seems to me that the IP was probably super clean at installation in
the engine, and from then on all the fuel was filtered, so where could
any abrasive particles come from to be deposited inside the pump?
Max

I plan to run a can of Diesel Purge in my '91 300D for the 1st time.
Question, the fuel return lines goes into the can as does fuel feed
line. How will I know when the full can of DP has run through the
engine? Doesn't the fuel return line keep refilling the can with
excess fuel?
Also, about how long does it typically take - assuming I'll run the
engine at around 1500rpm?
Thanks!
