I once put esso in as well and it seemed to disappear from the tank like it was leaking.

That's a real good fuel. There is no need to use fuel additives if you use high quality petrol or diesel, unless you already have gummed injectors or a bad tank. Even with gummed injectors they will recover to some extent if you use fuel from a major oil company, although some Sunday morning motorway time also helps.
The general public have been brain washed to think all fuels are the same, when there is a big difference in both the base fuel and the additives. Gumming up injectors or using a low power density fuel can also be a waste of money.
