    Diesel additives

    Could someone please remind me of the name of the additive that kills the algae? Something to do with Maintenance.

    The generic term is a biocide. It is not algae. Algae requires light. The microbes are bacteria or fungi.

    Get a good supply of fuel filters, because after you have killed the crap it very quickly clogs up the filter.

    Yes, the term algae has become generic.

    No, just misused! In the same category as confusion between bacteria (e.g. cholera), parasites (e.g. malaria), viruses (e.g. smallpox) and prions (e.g. scrapie).

    Continuing to spread the incorrect information only aids in the slide to idiocracy. We all need to actively fight misinformation.

    I agree and thank you for the reminder.

    EDIT: For the correct definition of "misinformation".
