Diesel Fuel and Microbes

1.Microbes can grow in Diesel fuel and can, over time, interfere with the Gen- erator’s performance. When perfor- mance begins to suffer and the en- gine begins to produce black smoke, a high-quality biocide must be added to the fuel to kill the microbes. If left untreated the microbes will eventually clog the fuel lines and ruin the equip- ment. The biocide must continue

to be added to the fuel until the mi- crobes are completely destroyed and the fuel runs pure again.
