OK upon reading the several responses; if Stanadyne is the manufacturers
recommendation, and others like Seafoam or Biobor; my question is; are these
products mutually exclusive? Or can they be mixed together? Should one red over
the other? Thanks...

Seafoam reminds me of the Marvel Mystery Oil claims. I can't find MMO
atCanadian tire any more, used it in the A4 (oil & gas)regularly.

I suspect most old car guys arefamiliar with Seafoam. Though I can't recall
exactly what is in it. I'vealways used it as an additive for gasoline engines -
boat fuel, mowerfuel, oil mix for power tools and the outboard. I think of it
as a betteralternative to Stabil.
Can't say as I've ever thought about it as Diesel additive, or added itto
engine oil. Might be a good thing to check out.

Hi Rick,
A friend who works on cars and has a 32 foot sailboat for 25 years thatlooks
better than new, suggested I use SeaFoam in both fuel andengine oil. It's
inexpensive and seems to make starting mucheasier, so I've been using that for
the last 8 years. I use Bio-FloJr when I top off the tank for winter. Any
thoughts onSeaFoam?

All diesel is made to the same set of standards. The red stuff just has adye
in it to indicate that the highway fuel tax has not beenpaid.
When your engine was built, diesel fuel had 5000 parts per million ofSulphur
content. The Sulphur was a significant factor in lubricating theinjection pump,
injectors, etc.
In the mid to late 90s, in anticipation of the Tier 2 emissionsstandards, Low
Sulphur diesel became mandatory. Sulphur content wasreduced to 500 PPM, and
lubricity additives were incorporated in thefuel.
In the middle of the last decade, in anticipation of Tier 3 emissionstandards,
Ultra Low Sulphur diesel became mandatory. Sulphur content oncurrent fuel is 15
PPM. A new Tier 3 engine is designed to run on ULSfuel, just like a new gas
engine is designed for ethanol.
Yanmar, Cummins, and Perkins (the 3 brands of diesels I used to
teachtechnicians about) all recommend that you add a lubricity additive toyour
fuel if your engine was built before Tier 3 and ULS diesel becamethe norm. For
our size engines that means about 2010 (1 year later inCanada). The service
bulletins from Yanmar and Cummins (which Iunfortunately lost when the laptop’s
hard drive went up in smoke) bothspecifically recommend the additive from
Stanadyne.
Even though my Universal M35B is a Tier 3 version, I still add
Standynelubricity additive (although I do occasional use a product from
Lucas).It can’t hurt.
I also put BioBor JR in the fuel as an algaecide and try to keep my tankfull
during winter storage. As Josh said, the nasties live in the waterin the tank
and eat the diesel (don’t get me started on bio-diesel). Analgaecide and
reducing the chances of condensation in the tank are goodpolicy for avoiding
fuel filter problems.
I’ve used about 2 tanks of fuel this year, so I’m not concerned with theduel
degrading in storage like you get with ethanol stored in a boat.Diesel can
generally be stored for about two years without significantdegradation.

With apologies for re-raising a previously discussed topic; my boat is a1985 37
with the original Yanmar 3HMF 27 hp; I went for my annual dieselfill up and the
pumps were out of order; so I had to get diesel from astreet gas station;
although the cost was almost a dollar per galloncheaper, I noted that it was
the "green" color rather than the"red" color; so my question is do I need to
put some type ofsulpher additive or something along those lines into this fuel?
I didmotor with it for an extended time on Sunday with no adverse effects;
inaddition to this question, what should I use for the upcoming winterlayup?
many thanks
