I"m not saying that the use of additive will keep a pump from ever wearing out, or having problems. There will always be a 100% certainty that routine wear and tear will happen, and will ALWAYS happen.
What I am saying is that if you aren"t using an additive, the chances that the wear occurs sooner rather than later increases. As far as any other kind of major repairs being needed, to that all I can say is crap happens. Basically there is always a chance that something will happen, whether your running additive or not.....but the additive will typically reduce the chance of it happening.
Beyond that, given the crap they are calling fuel nowdays, anything you can use to help it is a good idea. Personally I look at it like this. I've had my current service truck for nearly 14 years. In all that time the 'water in fuel' light never came on until about a year ago. All of my fuel comes from stations, and typically it's all from larger,name brand, stations. Still, when they started forcing the ULSD on us, when they started mixing in biodiesel, etc, etc a few years back, the light on my truck now stays on just about as much as it stays off. It's sad that you have to ignore a light designed to let you know there may be a problem simply because the problem is the fuel your getting is crap.....and there isn't a dang thing you can do about it but give your engine 'medicine' (additive)to keep it from getting sick as long as you possibly can......
But that's just my .02 as a construction equipment mechanic who has seen a difference in the amount of my customers, who use no additive, having fuel system problems, and those that use additive religiously not having the same problems. makes a believer out of you in a hurry......

Today's Featured Article - Hydraulics - Cylinder Anatomy - by Curtis von Fange. Let’s make one more addition to our series on hydraulics. I’ve noticed a few questions in the comment section that could pertain to hydraulic cylinders so I thought we could take a short look at this real workhorse of the circuit. Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power. There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in
