A look into diesel fuel tank treatment.

A look into diesel fuel tank treatment.

• Many times, just the mention of fuel additive treatments are met with skepticism, followed with rolling eyes reserved to snake oil salesmen.

• The skeptic isn’t necessarily to blame. All too many fuel treatments don’t do all they claim. Add to this, the treatment is hidden in a fully contained tank, unseen to the average consumer. There is no visual verification to what’s happening, if anything at all.

• Following, you will see for yourself, the effective use of a diesel fuel treatment, when using the proper treatment for the ailment at hand. Additives are not created equal.

The second photo was a partially filled fuel tank just after pumping off “treated” fuel. Notice the residual black bacteria?

Bacteria in Fuel??

• Bacteria exists in “all” diesel fuel. The amount depends on many factors such as age, water content, temperature, and use.

• Beside plugging fuel filters, bacteria also produces acidic waste causing MIC- Microbial Induced Corrosion.

• Limiting exposure to bacterial contamination and remediating gross bacterial infections can be mitigated with simple treatments and time.

• MIC is stopped in its tracks with the same treatment.

Tank analysis.

• In the partially clean tank slide, notice the straight shiny line between remediated and un-remediated tank walls. This line shows a partially filled tank with an effective fuel treatment.

• The dull brown area is bacteria embedded into the tank walls, ready to grow again once the tank is refilled with diesel fuel. Bacteria will grow again if left untreated.

• Filling this tank again to the top, with proper treatment of the right fuel additive, will mitigate the remainder of the bacteria and protect against MIC.
