Diesel fuel filer full of diesel fuel growth, algae

Kill diesel growth with FTC Decarbonizer

Don’t allow fungi, bacteria and moulds to grow in your diesel fuel and cause serious engine damage! The safe, fast and easy way to kill diesel growth is with FTC Decarbonizer added to the fuel. FTC Decarbonizer is extremely effective in killing both the live organisms, and the highly resistant spores. It then dehydrates the slimy mass. As a result little, or no fuel filter clogging occurs after treatment. This is a big plus, when compared to most conventional biocides!

How does diesel growth get there and what damage can it do?

The growth often enters from contaminated diesel tanks, but the resistant spores can be airborne and enter via tank breathers or with dust. To proliferate, they live in the water phase and feed off the diesel. The diesel growth can block fuel lines and filters, and as they decompose, the acidic residue destroys fuel system components.

FTC Decarbonizer

FTC Decarbonizer actively kills fuel growths and prevents resistant spores from reforming.

Simply add FTC Decarbonizer to your diesel tank to stop Algae growths.

Simple Steps on how to kill diesel growth with FTC Decarbonizer.

  1. Drain off any water & sediments from the tank.
  2. Generally, the existing fuel will just need treating so no need to remove it. FTC Decarbonizer will burn aged diesel more cleanly.
  3. Blow out any fuel lines & fittings between tank and filter that may have clogged.
  4. Replace fuel filter &/or clean the water separator.
  5. Dose fuel with FTC Decarbonizer at 1:800 treat rate.
  6. Run the engine to ensure the FTC Decarbonizer reaches all parts of the fuel system to stop further growth occurring, and protect the fuel system components.
  7. For severe infestations of fuel growths allow 24 hrs for the FTC Decarbonizer to kill and dehydrate the fuel bug. Otherwise, the engine is ready to put back into service.
  8. Regularly check fuel filter drains, and monitor sediments.
  9. Continue using FTC Decarbonizer ongoing, with each fuel fill, at 1:1600 treat rate.

No more diesel growth with FTC Decarbonizer.

  • Meandu Coal Mine used FTC Decarbonizer for fuel efficiency reasons. Their bulk diesel tank cleaning is done every 10 years, but with FTC use, the tank was surprisingly clean inside.
  • Peak Downs Mine suffered bouts of diesel growth clogging fuel filters on the truck fleet, and stopping production. Immediately after dosing up on FTC Decarbonizer, the filter problems stopped.
  • C Worthy Marine had a huge fuel bug problem in both tanks of a Fairways 36 boat. The quote to clean both tanks absolutely floored them. Instead FTC Decarbonizer quickly and cheaply killed the fuel growths, and broke down the bug. The Racor primary fuel filter was drained at 5hr intervals for a couple of tanks of diesel, and the problem.

Bought Decarbonizer and the Flushing Oil Concentrate to use on my tractor and excavator, sadly a... bit too late for the digger....needs a rebuild. But the tractor was a definite improvement, the engine ran sweeter and a lot less gunk from the exhaust, really noticeable. Thoroughly recommend, the only suggestion is to maybe reconsider the product names....bit confusing. But names are not everything, absolutely worth the money. Many thanksread more

Frankly, I am astounded with the difference. I have been using the FTC Decarbonizer for the last... 1,500k. My mechanic has warned me the engine on my Winnebago Motorhome (Chevy 6.5L turbo diesel, 17 yrs old, 225k on the clock) was exhibiting signs of blow-by. There is now no evidence of smoke from the exhaust under load, the performance has improved, the engine just runs smoother, but incredibly it starts first time after being a difficult starter for several years. I am looking forward to its next service to see what the mechanic has to say. Great product.read more

Forget going to car stores to buy maintenance products. I have been using their engine and... drivetrain lubricants, optimisers, and internal engine cleaners for years, and truly believe there are none better - at any price. Service is terrific, and advice is accurate and helpful. These products are simply the best there are.read more

I have used the AW10 in several cars now. It has made a HUGE difference in all of them. My little... junk Barina that I drive to the train station had a noisy engine and it got hot fast. After using the AW10, it is quiet and the temp takes a while to get to it's working temp. The car runs really well now. All the other cars are running well too.The Rust Conqueror is AMAZING. Works so much better than anything else I have tried. I first saw the XTroll rust treatment way back in the late 80's. It was fantastic back then. Over time I lost the can and moved states. I needed to treat some rust and nothing I used worked properly. I searched for the XTroll and found it with the Cost Effective Maintenance team. They were so helpful. The stuff isn't cheap but it is more than worth it. You want your equipment to last, Use the AW10 and XTroll. Look at the other products too. You won't regret it.read more
