DieselFusion

I am an example of victim to "Snake-Oils". Still trying to save my after glass fuel tank.

Before you pour anything down that tank neck, be sure it is a real product that will not harm glass tanks or old hoses AND your engines.

The term Fusion is so over used these days, I would rather run from it than try to use it.

Or, that could be another $60 in fuel. Your dollar per mile just jumped up some more.
Unlike an old dawg (not much), I can still learn new stuff;
Tell us how it works and what was effected.

From an old post, I think it was about a generator fuel problem, there was allot of comments about that stuff and I picked some up.
Lucky I only put it in my aft tank.

Still not sure what happened, my results; trashed the fuel (looked like tomato juice), near convinced it ate (hopefully only some) of my aft glass tank. Near a year later, 1000Racors have to come apart routinely to clear the turbines and empty the bowl. The goo will not drain out of the bowl with the whole drain assembly removed. Looked just like a FRP tank after a gasohol attack.
This goo dries hard like an flimsy tan/brown varnish.

Silly questions... But If it really improved fuel economy by up to 18% and reduced emission! wouldn't all oil companies incorporate it in their fuels?

Got a bridge here, cheap. You can put a toll gate on it and make money.
Call in the next 15 minutes and we'll throw in a draw span at no extra charge.

Other reading from the same site talks about the basic formula that started in WWII.
Snake-oil has been around much longer that that.

You want good fuel? Use your boat, keep fresh fuel in her from a reliable source. If it's going to sit, top off with fuel from a Valve-Tech marina if it will help you feel better.

Thoughts like this have been bounced around before. I'm sure the fuel companies want to deliver what they can with with a profit plan (short & long term) and stay in business.
However, the fuel companies have to deliver a reliable product.
On top of how they refine it to deliver this reliable product, then forced to ad EPA additives, reformulate to remove other ingredients and seasonal additives schedules, do you thing they want to ad anything else to raise the price any more or further jeopardize this reliable product.
The Valve-Tech fuels are from the cheapest tank-farms around (that day), then their additive are mixed in. Here in Jax, that's 50 plus cents per gallon. AND, not the refiners responsibility if anything goes astray.

Naw, fuel snake oils are not anything the fuel MFGs want to get any more involved with. IMO.

I have been in touch with the kids down there & others. Those tanks pictured are for the sufferers of gasohol. The attitude is I have been receiving is allot of varnish, stuff, sh%^^t, goo more sh$^t and then some water & bad fuel coming out of my (35 year old) aft tank. The timing of it all is in the air (unknown). I have not detected any glass fibers in the filters.

Well, the coin is still in the air. I'm still drawing snot and varnish from my rear tank. Now varnish since I added that diesel clean s$^&^f(t).

I'm still Mobile (mobile is important). Run 4 tanks of fuel thru it and none in the bilge. 2 South Fl trips including a 3 week Taloo (Abaco) side trip. Amazing how even after a tank cleaning, this aft tank still comes up with goo & sh%^f(t).

One day I'll get over it or fix it. I just hope there is enough rum to survive till then. Oh, Wait, Maybe that's the answer, Rum jealous boat, stay tuned...
