[Vwdiesel] Simple tune-up questions (Derek's)

[Scott Kair]

>>When I went through the pump shop I asked them about additives.  He
said that Bosch recommends Stanadyne since the desulfurization of
diesel.  He said that really said something to him when one pump
manufacturer recommends another pump manufacturer's product!

    Diesel Injection Service in Texas has an interesting page on which pumps
running with and without the Stanadyne additive are disassembled and
photographed during inspection:

    The company often offers case-lot specials on the additive, btw.
    It should be mentioned that some additives contain noticeable amounts of
alcohol, evidently to absorb water.  These should be avoided when possible
due to the possibility of incompatibility with pump seals.
