[Vwdiesel] algae

[Arkady Mirvis]

I do not have an experience with algae growth prvention. But algae looks for 
water in the fuel. Adding alcohol to any fuel reduces water content and I 
did that for years to keep my tanks rust-free using " Dry-gas " while living 
in USA.   Ark.

Good to know about the smell. I have been working on my diesels for 15 years
and have never come across algee yet, knock on wood.

Biobor is still available. We treat the fuel systems in our aircraft with it
yearly. Doubt it makes much difference, but the variant we use is labeled 
for
aircraft use only. Wouldn't count on the temp being below 93 keeping the 
bugs
out of diesel and jet fuel. My Suburban last year had algae in the fuel 
system
and Anchorage doesn't get very many days above 93. When I pulled the filter 
it
smelled like rotten milk and was slimy.
