yea, check biggy, he have.......wait whut?

its a simple install: goes between pump and filter. it breaks up hard or congealed stuff (agglomeration) that can occur in diesel when allowed to settle. this can range from heavy ends to bioligical content. i dont have to tell you what can happen when solids get into a fuel rail that is designed for liquid.

it also disperses SOME water; nearly atomizes it thus protecting the injectors / cylinders from damage. it cannot disperse a lot of water, but it is much better that the best chemical water scavengers on the market right now

performance / economical wise, there is really no change. it doesn't affect the cetane level of the diesel, only its physical properties. its there to protect the Common Rail (CR) which, because of the extremely high pressures involved (up to 4000psi), is very expensive to repair / replace

as a result of the poor quality diesel we have here, sometimes the Algae-X can be overloaded and thus leave some of the agglomeration stuck on the internal walls. a simple manual clean is all that is required. i usually do it when doing my 10K services

anything that has the potential to be clogged up by solids will benefit from this product. once it have injectors, then yes

I ran one on my TBW Nissan Frontier 3.0 and it did nothing at all. The filter still clogged up and not just with Peakes Gas Station water!

Sorry I can't recommend this product.

But maybe others have had success...

reviving: dumb question: considering the diesel can clog it quickly, does it make sense to say; run 2 or to be even more ridiculous 3 in line?
