I was curious as to why we see problems with diesel fuel today. So i did some snooping around and ran across this link that seemed very informative.
I thought it was worth sharing with those who dont know why Biocide is used. It helped me understand alot more about why we see Biocide being used alot more today.
Now that i know why its important to use Biocide to treat the diesel fuels we use... with sulfur being removed, which use to kill bacteria, now the bacteria can grow rapidly unless treated.
Sulfur is like an acid, (which would kill bacteria) and now the EPA wants it ALL removed, for the sake of cleaner emissions. I`m going to start using the Biocide before i end up with problems i dont want.
You`ll love the part in there about the tanker trucks in how they are contaminating the diesel fuel too.

Anyway, hope this helps some people understand it better, that dont know. It sure helped ME understand it better!
