My 1983 300TD tank screen was 25 years old when it was finally changed.
It was 100 percent clogged with a dark brown hard lacquer-like material.
This made for slow going at 1/4 tankful or less. ;)

IIRC, the crud lives in water, and eats diesel, so its natural environment is
the water/fuel boundary
THat is dried up now, but might still show the effect of a biocide to
disperse the stuff if I put it into a fuel/water mix. You are right,
I forgot about the nature of the freight companies and dissel
fuel. You are probably a terrorist anyhow?

What is live?
I have the old gunked screen still.
It has been sitting outside in warm weather and sun - is that alive?
Although, I bet USPS will not allow me to ship, as it is fuel, and may
explode upon extreme compression.

Hmmm Guess Stanadyne stopped selling their biocide. THat must be
why nobody can find it. I bet marinas still have some of biocide. I
will try to find more info/sources.
That newsletter is dated 2001, and I know I got Stanadyne Biocide in
2005 or so. I could have been that the Diesel shops

It is hard to find. Others have said that marine stores and bigger
marinas carry it. I have never seen a Power Service product that was
a true biocide. They might have one. Most of what is around here is
a "fuel treatment" but doesn't say it contains a biocide.
I need to find some again.
