A friend with a 95E cat lost an injector and when Cat came out and pulled the injector, the O-ring was hard as a rock. Injector was fine. Fuel was leaking past the O-ring into the crankcase. Mechanic said he should be adding a lubricant to his diesel.
I run Hows anti-gel in the winter, but thats about all of the "conditioning" I do to my fuel. Should I be running extra additives? I've allways thought that they were all "snake oil" and thats partly to blame why I haven't used conditioners the other part is that there are so many conditioners to choose from its hard to pick. But with the cost of new machinery, I would use any additives that would truly prolong engine/drivetrain life. I do know of a few truckers that run Lucas Oil in their rigs and they swear by it.
This has probably been discussed earlier, but after a quick search I couldn't find the thread.
