I was aboard ship and we were operating two 2500 HP Detroits hauling some medium size alternators,to supply power to cranes.In my office far away I could hear the engines grinding to a halt. My first experience with fuel algie.These engines were fitted with duplex polycarb see thru filters.It was easy to see that the filters were plugged and sucked together in the middle and looked sort of hour glass in shape.We had 160,000 gallons in storage and 5000 gallons in the day tank that was refreshed daily the to run the engines.Inspection showed the entire system and storage to be contaminated with an almost transparent jelly like substance with tiny black spots that ressembled frog eggs.We biologically treated every part of our system with a material named Biobor supplied by the Bull and Roberts Chemical company. Bull and Roberts specialize in marine chemicals but can be reached on Internet.We did nothing but put in the recommended dose and the algie disappearedI.We never did anything except change filters.I must add that there appears to be more than one sort of algie because in my tractors the stuff I get out looks like soft brown ribbon slime.
