Yep, those are also my favorites! Plus, the California oxidizer so less particulates out the exhaust. Though does make the turbocharger have to be clocked and very expensive air filter. But only need changing every 30,000 miles, so means three years for me.
what are you treating it with?

diesel fuel is dirty. it is on the verge of breaking down just sitting in the tank. startron DIESEL tank cleaner is very good stuff. power service CLEAR diesel is good as well. best time to treat is when the tank is low, and you are filling it to the brim.
put in the treatment for a full tank, then FILL THE TANK, then go driving. the sloshing action gets all the nooks and crannies, and parking the car after to let it soak into all the places that were sloshed onto.

and yeah...
several treatments if you are plugging filters. if not, just change the filter, treat and drive.
