yeah - i do use stanadyne.
even using other additives though, a water seperator is great insurance because multipurpose diesel fuel additives only have the ability to remove a very small amount of water. they're designed to address the water that enters fuel through condensation in your vehicles tank. so, if you run into a fuel source that's significantly contaminated, no multipurpose fuel additive is going to prevent the water from getting to your fuel injection system - but a FM100 probably will.
also, aside from the FM100s water seperation capability, this is an excellent pre-filter. using a high quality pre-filter will result in cleaner fuel making it to your MBs fuel injection system. clean fuel causes less wear, burns more thoroughly and introduces fewer contaminants into your oil so your engine should function optimally longer.
cheers!
