I'm curious about algae in diesel. This was a constant problem in shrimp boats as well as towboats. The algae lived in and fed off the water that accumulated in the bottom of fuel tanks. I fought this problem for years. The fish house sold us fuel for a nickel/gal above their cost. A biocide could be added by the supplier for three cents/gal, but most fishermen complained about the additional cost. I always added a small quanity of biocide each time I took on fuel. Otherwise, I would go through a pair of filters a week. When I was on the farm, I don't remember any problem with algae, and I haven't seen any posts regarding the algae in fuel. Is this just a marine problem, where many tanks don't have a drain at the very botton of the tank, or are there instances of similar problems with farm and road equipment? I'm just curious. Thanks for your replies. C. L.
