Might could maybe probably use some biocide

FTG-05 · Jan 21, 2021

I've been having stalling out problems with RTV, especially when trying to go up hills. I found this in my Kubota RTV diesel fuel tank a day or so ago.

I'll be cleaning out the tank, replace the fuel filter (again) and replace all the OEM (probably) fuel and vacuum lines with SAE J30R9 Fuel Injection Hose.

But, I'll need to make sure my red dyed farm fuel tank is not contaminated and same with my Kubota L4330 tractor and ZD326 ZTR.

Hence, what's the biocide I can buy? I don't live near a truck stop and I don't see biocide at my local Oreilly's or Autozone parts stores.

What do you recommend?

Thanks,

I would consult a Marine Diesel Engine repair/supply company as to what they recommend as they deal with diesel biological growth more than usual.

(not available in the US but you can import it) Fuel Doctors works brilliantly. Google it.

They recommend this.
