Well,I done it now the Benz sit up long enorgh with water contamination to
grow bacteria in tank and the entire fuel system.
Having trouble finding Quicksilver marine diesel treatment which carries
germicide in addition to all the other additives normally found
in diesel fuel treatment items.
Without the germicide you;re spinning your wheels at this time.Because the
slime will return faster than you can change filters and clean injectors.

Found a bottle of my germicide at the back of the local oil distributors
warehouse.
Enorgh dust on the bottle ,you wonder when last time they sold the stuff.
Looked like a trip down to the ocean coast to pickup some at the marine
diesel shop.
In case I need more .....does anyone know of an online order site.

You want a biocide. Sold to truckers and construction companies as well
as marine users. If you own an older, non CDI diesel a bit of regular
gasoline will also do the job and dump the algae into your fuel filters.
