Danny ZFuel treatment
I know we don't normally push a product here, but this is something I've seen for myself, it works, if you want to know more I'll tell you, but this is not a "burn water for fuel" deal.
Bill, you have my permission to blow this off if you think it's BS.

RustyI spent many years as a fuels and lube engineer (even the Navy said I was one of two in service).
What they promise is filtering fuel and/or cleaning tanks. This may be something useful for large storage facilities (but I'm skeptical even of that), but for those of us that buy a few gallons at a time, I see no benefit. Inline fuel filters do the same job they propose. The only benefit I can see is rectification of grossly contaminated (with water, hence algae) diesel tanks, and keeping 'er running frequently should eliminate that. Their claim that most filters are 30u is a bit of a stretch, since even lube oil filters are in the sub 10u range...

IMHO, USA Fuel Service is a solution in search of a problem in typical useages.

Yeah Danny... tell us more. I'm a skeptic, but I'm willing to listen first before I make up my mind.
For a few years now, you have said that you have a stumble in your engine that only shows up after you've been running your Euro for awhile. I've believed it to be a fuel related issue... did this company fix your problem?
