  Alcohol in diesel is a terrible thing for your injection pump.

    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.
