Kevin, As far as I know, no one here is using them. Uncle Vic (from the 31 site) swears by them. Many others think they're like snake oil. Do a search on boatdiesel. The opinions are pretty much split down the middle. I may try them next spring. At around $280 a piece they are relatively inexpensive.

Ed, Thanks for the tip. I'll dig around a little. I'm pretty sure I've heard about it in the past. I used Stanadyne's fuel conditioner last summer. I didn't really notice a difference in the sooting.
