Oh yes,
It's a great additive to all.
Seems like it's been around for years. My grandfather believed in it religiously.
We use it in all our equipment also.
Even run some in the RTV. And the stories you hear, don't doubt them, I've heard some amazing stories myself. Old timers worshiped this stuff >>>>>>

Must do something special,
Don't know if it last any longer. Have not had anything I used it in let me down yet .......
So far, everything I put it in, is still running great, after all these years.

+2............For me, have been using it in the fuel tank of my smallish diesel tractor each time I fill it up for many years and have yet to have a water or smoking situation/problem. No blow by and zero oil consumption.
Bought an OLD Troybilt tiller a couple or 3 years ago with the original B&S engine that was using oil about as fast as I could put it in. Perhaps a pint or more per 30 minutes of running. Put Marvel in the oil as part of an oil change and some in the tank. What could it hurt?.............Now, I get at least 2 hours before adding a few ounces of oil to fill it up, smoking has stopped, starts on the first pull, and is totally STRONG..............
Who knows if it works?????????.............God bless.........Dennis

Hey, don't mind listening. Planted my butt on a many of old tractor tires, buckets, or just sqatted down and listened to what the older folks have to say. One can't buy that kind of information !!!!
Many of us, of what we know, comes from "hand me down knowledge".
Ever noticed, when one gets his/her self in a bind. The very one who will come to help, is a older person. Always.
Pull your tractor over on the side of the road. Older men will almost always stop to see if you need a hand. Just be checking in to see if you need help.
Be somewhere where there where it would not hurt to have a helping hand. The first one to show up and put that hand on it, will be a older person who has been there. Where I've seen elderly women at a store, trying to load up stuff, and younger people just walk on by. That is not right. Every dog has his day.
And God Bless our Soldiers, for they never stop giving !!!!

Two Guns and Dennis are right " Hand me down knowledge " is priceless, better than any "book knowledge" can give you. Anytime I get the chance to hear some I take advantage of it. I myself am starting to hand some out to the youger generation,to the one's that will listen and were brought up right "respecting" others. That older farmer told stories of how "Marvels" unstuck lifters,stopped smoking,and made his equipment run smoother. I believe him and I'm starting to use now myself. Maybe one day I will be that older fellow someone talks about.
Well said Two Guns. bordercollie
Use it in everything, vehicles, chainsaw, dozer, basically everything, small engines up to big ones, gas and diesel both. It does offer extra lube while helping clean carbon. I also believe it helps prolong gasoline, kind of like stable.

Marvel is a good upper-lube. I think. That's all I've used it for, way back in the days of carbureted engines. Take off the air-cleaner, grab the throttle linkage, rev up the engine while slowly pouring MMO down the intake. The exhaust turned into a fogging machine while the MMO was being burned. I congratulated myself on doing something really effective for my engine. I dunno ... maybe it helped free a sticky valve, or cleaned the seats or the rings or the heads. Anyhow ... it seemed like a good idea at the time. It's probably like chicken soup for a head cold: can't hurt.
with the new low sulfer deisel it no longer lubes up the pumps like the old one did so adding any kind of oil to your fuel tank is a good thing.i add tcw3 two stroke oil to my truck tank at every fill up. and with that ethanol eating up carbs like there's no tomorrow it would seem to be a good isead to run some oil in the fuel on the gas engines too.the fuel they make these days just don't like the rubber made yesterday it eats rubber o rings up like crazy .with the vp44 fuel pump on my cummins it needs oil to lube it up and keep friction down other wise it will over heat and cook the pump. i have a aftermarket lift pump to supply the vp44 with all the fuel it needs i think it circulates 250 gallons an hour through the system . i yanked out them 1/4 " hoses and went with all 1/2" hoses to make sure it gets every bit of fuel it needs. i had a stock lift pump go out and stupid me i replaced it with another one just like it that went out a few months later it cooked the vp pump and costed me 1,200.00 dollars .
I've never used MMO in my diesels, although I do use specialized Lubes in the fuel. We used to use MMO in spray plane engines in the oil and fuel, and never lost a top or bottom end due to lube related problems. Only problem we seemed to have were cylinder head cracks due to shock cooling. Once I made a hole exiting the combustion chamber big enough to stick my thumb through! 
I think it works, especially in the top end!
I think it works, especially in the top end!This is what Marvel does the best at.
If you want to help your diesel injection system live a long and happy life use The Stanadyne additives
i run a bottle or two of injector cleaner through my deisel truck every other month but i add two stroke oil stright to the tank for the pumps to get the lubrication they need. the oil does nuthin for the injectors but it does save the pumps from burning up . also i have been known to run my old oil through a coffee filter and add that to the tank as well little by little. any oil you add to todays deisel is better than what you pump straight into it from the station. i have a fass 150 lift pump on my cummins and it has two filters it runs through the first filter to take out all the water then it runs through the secondary filter to take out trash and all the air in the fuel.
I run 2 cycle oil in the diesel fule at each fill up also. The cummins loves it. I also run a fass fule system. My son workes on the cummins only. Build's custom injection pumps for the 2003 and newer cummins. The diesel fule now days is very poor and very dry . not enough lubebrisity. Also add 2 cycle to the fule for the Kubota. Will make the injection pump last alot longer.
