I trust Power Service products. But I wonder if you really need that particular product. What makes you think you have microbial growth in your fuel? Do you plan to use this in your truck tank, or do you have a storage tank? That problem and that product are most often seen around marine enviroments.

I see. As I understand it, microbial growth requires the fuel to be contaminated with at least some water, and for the fuel to sit with little agitation for a while. That is most likely to be an issue around marinas, in storage tanks. Of course the gunk can get transferred to your truck during filling. But if you drive the truck regularly, and don't have frequent water-in-fuel warnings, I don't think it can actually grow in your tank. Microbes also require a little bit of sunlight to grow, so above ground plastic tanks often have the problem. Most of what you see in your tank or filters will be a waxy diesel residue, and is not the result of microbes.
But if in doubt, it won't hurt to treat a few tankfuls. Won't hurt, and might help.
Good luck.
