Question for Don M

Don , A fuel additive ?
Some are a demulsifier, and some are emulsifier .
Is one better than the other for injector health?

I myself stay away from an emulsifier or anything with alcohol in it. Demulsifiers are best IMO. Breaking some of the water free and helping the filter media in the seperator to trap more water.

Don reworked my injectors about a month ago. He said they were "pristine" when he tested them. I have run Stanadyne Performance in almost every tank for 83k miles. Stanadyne Performance is a demulsifier.
