Bactericides
Bactericides prevent or eliminate all bacterial (fungi, algae, yeasts) contamination. During storage industrial liquid hydrocarbons, such as kerosene, petrol, gasoline and other petroleum distillates can be attacked by certain bacteria, particular yeast. Protection against these microorganisms is important because they can cause the blockage of the filters of fuel engines. These fuel bacteria can reduce the quality of a petroleum product even so that a hydrocarbon is unusable. The bacteria can modify the PH level causing storage corrosion. A fuel biocide can be added to the polluted parts of the hydrocarbon to destroy the microorganisms in the fuel. In diesel fuel small amounts of water can enter the fuel. This occurs through a process of condensation or leaks in tank seals. This water is a breeding ground for microorganisms. These diesel organisms eat the hydrocarbons in the fuel, leaving a waste that is harmfull and corrosive for your diesel.
