It is absolutely critical for me to add a nitrite additive SCA to my
International 7.3 in the Ford F250.  It prevents microscopic cavitation
erosion that EATS holes in the water jacket over time without SCA.  Only
Yanmar can tell you if it is needed.  Maybe it's the V-8 in my engine, or
other design characteristics that require it.  SCA is required in certain
other diesel engines.  The erosion occurs over time so even if it's
required, one has time to track down the definitive word on the Yanmar
engine, and how much if any per gallon.
