I used it to fill the fuel filter on my VW diesel about a month ago. Smoothed things right out, just like diesel purge does. Good stuff.

Once a small engine carb gets gummed up with old summer fuel, the only way to really clean it is with a complete disassembly and rebuild, not a pleasant task. And if you don't have any gas stabilizer, then just run the engine completely out of fuel before putting it away. For Diesels, you just need to run enough fuel through the system to keep the water content under control so that algae can't build up. That means to run it enough (at least 15k miles a year?) so that the fuel in the tank and plumbing doesn't get old. Proper filter maintenance should protect the IP and injectors so that snake oils shouldn't be needed.

Re: [MBZ] Instead of purge?
For gas or other fuel engines, the old John Deere admonition of buy clean fuel, and keep it clean applies. And the best way to keep carbs on older and small engines clean is to make sure that only clean fuel is in the system, that it is consumed totally at frequent intervals, and if put away for extended periods, add a bit of gas stabilizer. Once a small engine carb gets gummed up with old summer fuel, the only way to really clean it is with a complete disassembly and rebuild, not a pleasant task. And if you don't have any gas stabilizer, then just run the engine completely out of fuel before putting it away. For Diesels, you just need to run enough fuel through the system to keep the water content under control so that algae can't build up. That means to run it enough (at least 15k miles a year?) so that the fuel in the tank and plumbing doesn't get old. Proper filter maintenance should protect the IP and injectors so that snake oils shouldn't be needed.

Its a gas additive, works a champ in gas engines. I put some in my 240D once, seemed to sequester water fine. It was only 3 weeks ago I'd heard about running it directly into an engine. A guy in one of my classes had run it into a vacuum port on his late model Audi. Now the car runs like garbabge and aparently needs all new injectors... I've got a snowmobile that needs a carb cleaning. The float needles like to stick on those, I'm thinking to run a small can of premix (that is gas and oil, its a 2 stroke) with a good slug of seafoam and see if it helps. My Cub Cadet also has a dirty carb. I may try plumbing some purge in direct... Its supposed to be good fuel stabilizer too but I haven't really tried it for that. Decent stuff but I'll stick with Purge for my Benz. -Curt
