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.
