DON'T DO IT!

If you must use a fuel line anti-freeze, use a very small amount of 99% 
isopropyl alcohol. 
Do not use a lower percentage, and again, don't use very much. 
That was the advice I got from a Shell chemical engineer. 

If you are not sailing in below freezing conditions, use a commercial biocide 
designed for diesel, and follow the directions. 
A small amount of water should go through the injectors without harm, but a 
water separating filter is better.
 
What makes the water in a fuel tank bad is that bugs can grow in it and turn 
your diesel into black sludge. 
The point to the additive is to poison the bugs, not get rid of the water. 

My 2 cents.

  Is it worthwhile putting this into diesel fuel to absorb water. Some say it 
is beneficial and others say not. What is the consensus?
