I just closed on a 520db and will be running it back from NY to MA tomorrow in a narrow weather window. I have all the products with me to treat the diesel fuel according to Frank’s regimen. I will have a 6.5hr run tomorrow then another 2.5hr run next weekend to get the boat to where it will be stored for the winter and then it will be coming out of the water the last week of Oct. I was thinking it would be good to get the additives into the fuel for the long trip tomorrow and give them a chance to be run through the mains and the genny but my concern is if there is a some issues in the fuel, will treating the fuel increased my chances of a fuel related issue on the ride home? There are dual Racors on each main and I have 4 extra replacement filters at 30microns for the Racors and 2 replacement filters for on the engine mounted filter with me. The boat was used this summer a decent amount and ran good on the sea trial last week but I don’t want to create a possible issue by adding the additives.
