I'm of the belief that fuel at 20,000 psi getting shot through and injector keeps it pretty clean. Make sure you replace your fuel filter regularly and you'll be fine.
I've been running my injectors for 200,000 miles with only one failure. I put additive in it once or twice in that time.

DON"T RUN ANY INTERNAL CLEANERS!
A diesel engine is 100% cleaner inside than a gas engine. Diesel engine even after half a million miles don't have sludge build up. also these injectors are run from high pressure oil. anything other than diesel rated oil is BAD.
for fuel just run diesel Kleen, standyne, or biodiesel at about 5% mixture.

I been using a cocktail blend of 25% Lucas/75% PSDK in every tank around .5 ounce total for every gallon of Diesel that goes in.
The combination has worked very well for us.
