Do you use any additives to your fuel for a Yamar Diesel? If so, what works for you?

the only ones I use... is to stabilize fuel for winter storage and a biocide to keep crud from growing in the tank. I have not used a Cetane booster to date. Yet... I have only owned my boat for a year.

On my 3JHE3 I also use a stabilizer for winter storage and a biocide at every refueling to keep down the growth of any "crud." I use nothing else.

Adding "Lubricity" due to low sulpher diesel refining changes has been a hot topic here. some say yes, others say no. I do for my 3GMF as well as the two delivery trucks for my business per mechanic's recommendation. Also biocide & cetane+ per Larry Berlin @ Mack Boring. Given how little fuel I use in a year I regard it as cheap insurance.
