It's difficult to know for sure if adding any type of lube to the fuel is beneficial, my '95 E300 has over 400000 miles on it and the only thing I have ever added to the fuel was "Power Service"during the 8 winter months to prevent gelling of the fuel in this terrible frozen climate that I live in.
