I have never had to clean a tank after use of biocide.
Use Stanadyne Biocide. It is made for injection systems.
Follow the label instructions for "shock treatment"
carry an extra filter
Drive on
Continue to dose the fuel at the preventative treatment rate through
the summer.
Give it at lease one treatment each year when it gets hot outside.
Algae likes warm weather. It grows best like tomatoes = over 80 degrees.

Algicide will kill off the goo, but you will need to remove the tank
and replace the brass screen in the bottom as well, since it will
clog repeatedly from the dead goo.
Tank isn't horrible to get out (it's behind the rear seat, not under
the trunk floor) and any DECENT diesel shop can clean it and install
the new screen. Try a better place, goo in diesel fuel is pretty
common. Marine service people are more familiar with the problem due
to more water in the fuel, and can help -- call a barge service if
you are anywhere near a river, etc.
Otherwise call a trucking or truck repair/building service and ask
who they use or recommend.
