Myself as well as a few others have posted a link here to the results of testing of different fuel additives as to how well they lubricate the fuel system. It was done using "dry", additive-free ULSD. Many did well, some mediocre, many, including MMO, made the fuel worse.
I went with 2-stroke oil. Available anywhere, cheaper than most of the additives, and effective. It reduced the wear scar in the test to where the engine manufacturers want it, and again, that was with fuel that had no other additives in it. Biodiesel was most effective, but you get more cold-weather gelling issues with it.
The 2-stroke oil tested was wally"s-mart brand, so it was nothing special. Mixed at 200:1. With fuel around $4 i just use a pint per $50. If you want to make some smoke mix it at 50:1. The day I did that my old (stock) Cummins was still blowing smoke at 75. oops
