Using additives did improve my engine performance.
When I bought the boat the engine was reluctant to start / smoked on the
initial start of the weekend then always fired immediately for the reminder
of the cruise. I was told that it was likely related to sticking injectors
and adding fresh fuel + a good additive should help. After a recommendation
I tried Seafoam which did not make any difference, I then tried "Power
Service Diesel Kleen"
http://powerservice.com/psp_product/diesel-kleen-cetane-boost/ and it's
been continuously improving ever since. Now it fires right-up in the
summer and usually starts on the 1st (Somewhat extended) cranking attempt
in the winter. I used to have to fight 5 - 10 minutes with it to start in
the winter.
Since my tank holds 40 gallons and I only burn 15-20 gallons a year I don't
fill much more than about 1/2 full and also use Biobor to keep fuel
somewhat fresh / prevent the bugs from growing in the tank.
I also buy my fuel at a busy gas station for freshness. "Marine" fuel is
not available on our lake, none of the marinas sell diesel.
