[C320-list] fuel cleaning

[james_delong]

I've been using Starton Fuel Treatment along with a biocide.  This stuff, if 
the marketing is accurate, coagulates the deposits in the fuel into little 
particles.  They pass through the system and are picked up by the filters. 
The filters may then clog requiring them to be changed.  I put this stuff in 
last year, but so far, no filter clogging.  I'll check them out a normal 
rotation time.

Anyone else try this stuff?
