Biocide - anyone use it periodically?

[Blue Goat]

Does anyone use a biocide in their 24V diesel periodically? If so, How often and what brand?

 

[BLACKRAM]

I use Bio-Bor, but not very often. I do use the product on boats, since they sit for longer periods of time. No problems.

A local injection shop told me to NOT use it unless I have slime in the tank.

If your truck sits around a lot you may need it. Otherwise, don't bother. For boats it is necessary. When I first started running the 46' fish boat it had sat at the dock for several months with a for sale sign on it. The fuel was a mess and took biocide and a lot of filters to get it cleaned up. It even clogged up the little tank for the stove. Looked like snot. Then when it was killed it turned brown and still plugged up things with dead snot. A thousand gallons of fuel can hold a lot of the stuff!
