Do fuel additives damage the fuel filter and fuel pump?

Just changed the fuel filter and fuel pump and I thought it might be a good idea not to use fuel additives again to prevent possible damage to the filter and pump
 
I would hope not!

Although on the basis of how often they get discussed here, I would think members here would have seen any potential issues, by now.

Like anything else over use may not be the best thing. Used occasionally eg every 3-5K I don't see any issues.
 
Power Service 911 is hard on injector pumps and injectors, but gelling up a diesel is extremely hard on the fuel system in it self. So its a lose lose situation once your gelled up. Any alcohol additive in a diesel is hard on the system, but you have to do what it takes to get up and going.
