This is true and accurately described. It's main benefit is in
removing water from a fuel system so it doesn't freeze solid in cold
weather and form a plug. In this part of the world this is called
fuel line freeze-up. These products have real uses, although they
are much overused, and I would not call them fuel system cleaners.
