What is it and what does it do exactly. Is it a form of fuel system cleaner or treatment.Even if you have no issues that stuff is a must every now and then
I will. Got to service both of my 80's so will check it out.Its a cleaner, and when it cleaned mines its good i assure you.
Hit it up on youtube, defo worth it
Main reason this poor girl was so bad was lack of use been off the road almost 3 years. It wont happen again tho.Years ago if we had a contaminated system we used to fill a new filter with something similar, and then run it through with some n the tank. I tend to use an in tank additive, probably once every three or four months on the 80 and my little van. One bottle and a full tank, very diluted but seems to keep everything working ok.
Used IIRC 'Wynns' injector cleaner in petrol minicabs for years as well, again no injector issues.

No i didnt touch pump nor injectors, i thought to myself another good system clean before taking anything apart.Did you take the filter out of the pump. I wonder exactly what was blocked ?
Interesting. We used to have diesel engines on the farm which would start after decades of idleness and we never got diesel deterioration apart from waxing which was more of an specification thing rather than a problem. I wonder if "diesel bug" and other problems linked to home made fuel.

Basically because the turn over of fuel through garage forecourts is such that the fuel is never that old , the black sludge all of us find on the pickup gauze of our 80's is the bug , its if you leave a vehicle parked up for an extended time that the bug is able to cause the blockage ....it is a living bacterium .Grimbo, why hasn't the country ground to a halt?
