The reason you guys are having problems today is the new lower sulfur fuels.
First thing you need to do is get rid of the water. But that is near imposable with newer fuels. Lower sulfur fuels are prone to water separation. So now you need to use a good fuel stabilizer and cleaner. Most of these products these guys are talking about; IE: clear diesel are fuel cleaners. This will mix the fuel and water forcing it threw the filter.
Never put more fuel in the tank than you can used in 2 or 3 months. These newer fuels are prone to breaking down and forming a sludge that is similar but not related to algae.
OK now you are treating ALL fuel; using this fuel in a timely manner; so your tank should get cleaner and cleaner. The problem is you can never wash all the microorganism out of the tank. So your only choice is to kill them. Fuel cleaners may wash but will not kill the microorganism I will say that again Fuel cleaners may wash but will not kill the microorganism You get the tank fairly clean; lax up on the fuel cleaners; and bam the microorganisms stuck in some crease of the tank explode again. You are now back to square one. If the bottle does not say biocide you are only cleaning the tank not killing the microorganisms.
