That’s Stanadyne.

 

Recommended as a stabilizer for long term fuel storage (up to 2 years or so) by 
both Yanmar and Cummins (the two diesel engines used in Hyster & Yale lift 
trucks) at the time I retired. 

 

Stanadyne (though I don’t recall exactly which specific additive) was also 
recommended as a lubricity enhancer by these two brands for diesel engines made 
before the change to Ultra Low Sulphur diesel (500 PPM to 15PPM) which happened 
about 2008 or so depending on which country you are in and when various 
emissions tiers were effective.

I routinely add a biocide (Biobor) and a fuel lube and cleaner (Option-lube 
XPD) to my diesel fuel tank.  But I don’t use much diesel in a season.  I 
realize that I add stabilizer to my gas tanks (Stabil) for the outboard and 
home generator, but have never added a stabilizer to my diesel tank.  What do 
others do?  Dave
