I don't believe in snake oil and neither does my son, but an additive did help with sticking injectors in the Cummins ISM in his truck. This ISM was made somewhere in the first six months after the engine was introduced. It would sometimes idle a little rough and a mechanic told him those electronic injectors need a little additive to keep them clean. I forget what he used but it did smooth out the idle and occasional shake under load when an injector would hang up for a little while.

There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in
