Diesel fuel conditioner into gas engine?

I have a bunch of diesel fuel conditioner 'HOWES LUBRICATOR' DIESEL TREAT. Will it do anything beneficial in my gasoline engine?

No, it won't. If anything, it might harm an engine, depending on what's in it. The needs of diesel engines and fuel systems are quite different than those of gasoline engines.

If you have a lot of it and no diesel vehicle to put it in, sell it on Craigslist.
