Lucas fuel is a good product. That being said, it's not a "problem solver" for a non functioning fuel system. Like their oil products it's meant to keep problems from happening if used regularly, like every other tank full.

Gumout or Seafoam is better for a problem situation...

Most of those chemical treatments are diesel fuel maybe with some other additives. Some say "jet fuel". Don't put all of your hopes on them. Used as directed they won't hurt anything.

Swear by anything you like, but read the label. I got no dog in this fight.

Miracles don't happen in motors.
