Re: [Chrysler300] Diesel fuel

[Doug Mayer <mobydoug@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Good Morning,

There is a good product that is used for controlling algae in Diesel  
systems in the marine industry.  Particularly in the recreation side,  
where boats may be laid up for several months, and in some cases years- 
diesel tanks may yield a black goo instead of the reddish pink clean  
fuel.

BioBorJF is an excellent product, and is my first choice.  StaBil also  
sells a product that plays pacman with the little critters; Startron  
may have a product for this as well.  But BioBor is the preference.  I  
once had the algaefied fuel problem in a sailboat, which is a lot like  
a Chrysler 300 LEttEr Car, and BioBor solved it.  The worse solution  
is removing the fuel, "polishing" it, and steam cleaning the tank; not  
nice.

This stuff should be available at chandleries or marine mechanics.   
There, now--isn't that more than you wanted to know?
