Seafoam Diesel Treatment?
Check this out, thought it was a neat sight. Besides from the vintage aqua net style cans, maybe there's something to this stuff as an additive... Any thoughts?

I've been using Seafoam for a couple of years now. When I'm ready to do an oil change, I get the engine warm, put one can of Seafoam in the oil fill, drive 50 miles or so, and immediately change the oil. Judging by how much longer it takes for the oil to soot up (at least on my truck; the 300D is still working on it), I think that it does a good job of cleaning out the oil galleries. I haven't noticed any change in oil pressure (I have a straight-mechanical pressure gauge on both vehicles), so I don't believe that any damage has been done...
I haven't tried it in the fuel yet, but I plan to, someday...actually, I've been wondering if the Seafoam and Diesel Purge are similar products...? I can get Seafoam locally

I've tried seafoam in the fuel tank, and maybe i'm just fooling
myself, but i thought it produced a better result than most additives. truly seemed to have more pep on acceleration. next time i change the fuel filters, i'll throw some in there. used it only once so far on an oil change so it's too early to tell on that. but i think it might be a good alternative to say using engine flush simply because the quantity seems more reasonable. now, whether it's good or bad for the engine -- who knows?
