B
iocides
fall
in
the
demulsifying
category,
and
I
suggest
avoiding
them
since
they
do
nothing
to
eliminate
Asphaltene
contaminants
and
offer
little
to
enhance
your
fuel’s
quality.
Their
sole
purpose
is
to
“kill”
bacterial
and
fungal
growth
in
fuel.
In
my
experience,
these
chemicals
are
a
total
waste
of
money
and
will
cause
far
more
harm
to
your
fuel
than
they
do
good.
I
clean
diesel
fuel
and
tanks
for
a
living
and
in
the
hundreds
of
tanks
I’ve
done,
organic
growth
is
very
rare.
I
would
estimate
one
in
every
hundred
tanks.
Secondly,
these
chemicals
will
cause
any
growth
to
die
and
settle
to
the
tank
bottom
where
it
is
more
likely
to
be
sucked
into
the
fuel
system.
If
you
find
water
in
your
fuel,
you
need
to
have
the
tank
and
fuel
cleaned,
simple
as
that.
Don’t
make
things
worse
by
adding
any
form
of
biocide
agent.
Another
warning,
never
add
alcohol
to
your
diesel
fuel
to
“dissolve”
water.
What
will
happen
is
the
water
absorbed
by
the
alcohol
will
mix
with
the
diesel
and
never
settle
out
of
the
fuel.
Once
so
mixed,
it
will
eventually
cause
injector
failure
because
the
molecules
are
still
too
large
to
pass
safely
through the injectors without damaging their tips.
I
f
you
are
not
currently
using
a
fuel
additive,
start!
Good
fuel
additives
are
cheap
compared
to
engine
repairs.
Failure
to
become
pro-active
in
maintaining
your
diesel
fuel
can
be
a
very
expensive
mistake.
Price
a
new
style
injector
or
fuel
pump
if
you
have
doubts.
Today,
information
is
the
one
tool
we
all
need
to
navigate
through
the
maze
of
choices.
The
Internet
is
a
wonderful
source
of
information.
Use
it
to
seek
out
product
reviews,
test
reports,
and
honestly
sound
products.
Don’t
be
fooled
by
fancy
labeling
and
unfounded
claims.
Stick
to
established
companies
who
produce
additives
with
solid
benefits.
These
additives
will
provide
benefits
far
beyond
their meager cost.
O
ne
final
comment:
Don’t
be
fooled
by
anyone
telling
you
that
using
a
fuel
additive
will
void
your
engine
warranty.
There
is
a
Federal
law,
the
Magnuson-Moss
Act,
which
basically
makes
it
illegal
to
require
a
customer
to
service
a
product
with
a
specific
product
in
order
to
maintain
the
warranty.
As
long
as
the
treated
fuel
meets
the
appropriate
fuel
specification,
the
manufacturer
cannot
deny
warranty
coverage
based
upon
your
use
of
an
additive.
All
quality
fuel
additives
meet
or
exceed
recommended
fuel
specifications.
If
anyone
says
differently,
get them to put it in writing and see your attorney!
