It says "NOT FOR USE IN ON-ROAD VEHICLES" because it is not a certified fuel. Other than that, the remaining issue is if you have contamination, it may clog the fuel filters. Just be ready.

Hey, Wolfe, do you have any idea why the bottle of biobar includes the disclaimer against using it in 'on road vehicles'?

Yup, add the biocide NOW.
If you have a long filler tube, follow with 4-5 gallons of diesel to make sure the biocide gets down into the tank.
The biocide would do you any good if it is stuck in the filler neck or hose to the tank.

I have been using BIOBOR JF for 8 years in my Cummins ISC 8.3 without any problems. Like it says, 1oz for every 80gal fillup has prevented any microbe growth problems and my coach sets for months at a time in hot, humid weather.
Thanks for your reply. I've had a motorhome sitting for 2 years with a half-tank of fuel and no treatment. Going to take it out in early October. When would you suggest adding the Biobar... and how do you make sense of the label cautions?
Add the BIOBOR JF NOW and use the shock treatment amount, then take the coach and fill the tank with fresh fuel. This will get things well mixed. Living in north it's unlikely you have much microbe growth, but this is cheap insurance.
As to the labels, I don't have an answer I never saw that. Probably C Y A lawyer speak.
