Fungus in Diesel
Permalink  

Evening.

I have just fitted a diesel heater, works great,

I am running 10 to1 kerosene,  Can that help with algae in the Dieses.

Probably not.
Fungus grows on the surface between the diesel and the water that settles in the bottom of the tank.
I had some in the OKA once. It grew inside the fuel filter. It makes a real mess.
Add a small amount of fuel conditioner with biocide to the tank.
Cheers,
Peter
