The article sez ," if" you have fuel problems , then it is the recommended product .
Cummins has recommended their own diesel fuel additives for years so nothing new about the subject other than maybe adding a different brand.
If I was using a single source for my fuel supply such as a above ground fuel tank out by the tractor shed I would use diesel a recommended fuel supplement for sure.
My blue tractor dealer was using fuel from his dealerships fuel tanks for his brand new '08 F350 DRW 6.4 engine. At around 3.8k-4k the 6.4 started running rough and smoking more than normal. Ford dealer found lack of lubricity was the culprit. Ford was nice and fixed all the fuel systems problems for him with no cost.
Seems as his diesel fuel for his blue tractor dealership was missing the additIve package usually added before delivery.
He now has a new fuel supplier and he also adds a lube package to his dealership tanks.
JMO but most of us buy fuel from several truck stops so if the fuel additive packet wasn't added to one truckers 6500 gal tank won't be a issue as its diluted with treated fuel.
I use Power Service or Howes or from my Cummins dealer every so often in my old '03 Cummins HPCR engine. I like the way the 5.9 idles smoother/quieter/better seat of the pants performance.
