What’s in YOUR TANK?

Research shows that over 75% of tanks sampled are contaminated and contain fuel that does not meet current engine specifications. Sampling and testing the fuel is the ONLY way to determine what is in your tank. Its as simple as Test, Treat and Protect.

Microbial growth and biomass are the leading causes of engine shutdown, engine failure, fuel filter plugging and fuel tank contamination in diesel and jet fuel. Today’s refined fuels create an environment even more conducive to microbiological growth, which will cause serious damage to engine and fuel systems. Water is a contributing factor and it only takes a small amount to support microbial life. Fuel always has some level of water content. Biofuels also tend to be more water friendly. Biodiesel is 85% more water soluble than conventional diesel fuel, adding to the problem.

Why TREAT the fuel?

The only way to kill microbiological growth or remediate degraded fuel is to treat the fuel with a quality additive. The most trusted and widely used biocide in the world for over 56 years is Biobor JF. Fuel and tank cleaning on its own will not kill microbes or remediate the fuel.

Whether you operate a recreational vehicle, a marine vessel, an aircraft or a million gallon storage facility, the proper and consistent use of a biocide is imperative to preventing microbial issues. Biobor JF provides a highly effective “shock dosage” (killing existing growth) to eradicate bacteria and fungi when issues arise or signs of contamination are evident. Regular use at the “maintenance dosage” of Biobor JF will prevent and maintain a sterile fuel system, protect the fuel system, extend the life of your equipment and reduce liability. Biobor additives will remediate and enhance the fuel.

Want to PROTECT your investment?

Dirty fuel equals higher maintenance costs. If you do not have a fuel quality management program in place, then you are already seeing some of the major warning signs including:

Premature filter replacements
Corroded filters
Fuel system failure
Microbial influenced corrosion
System leaks
Poor engine efficiency
Line and tank failure
Accelerated fuel aging
Premature injector failure
Engine failure
Increased emissions

Sample and TEST fuel with Hum-Bug Detector Kit or FUELSTAT.

Identify free water and remove immediately
Visually inspect the fuel – if it looks bad, it is bad
Test for microbial growth using Hum-Bug or FUELSTAT
Look for corrosion – another sign of microbial contamination – if present, treat the fuel

Clean, remediate and TREAT your fuel using Biobor Products

Find microbes, corrosion or aged fuel – treat
Treat with Biobor JF to kill microbial contamination and protect your fuel
Remediate with Biobor fuel additives to improve fuel quality and operability

Monitor, maintain and PROTECT your Fuel with Biobor

Perform monthly fuel sampling and biannual testing to identify changes in fuel quality
Treat fuel with Biobor JF quarterly to reduce system corrosion and keep your fuel clean
Use Biobor Fuel Additives for seasonal protection
