NO NO to the Stanadyne. It's a good additive, but I believe it's still an emulsifier, it will separate the water from the fuel. The full flow filters are the only "water separators" on these diesels. Best to use an additive that has demulsification properties as our diesels do not have a water separator. I have been using the Redline Diesel Fuel Catalyst, which addresses this. Here is link to the Technical Information on this additive. I know Advance Auto Parts used to stock it but the one near me doesn't anymore.
