Keeping Diesel Fuel Clean Part I – Biocide

There are many additives available for your diesel fuel system. This week’s expert Craig Morely of Aquafacts Marine Surveys says there is one that all recreational boaters should use – Biocide. Craig explains how fungus gets into our fuel and what to do to kill fungal growth in diesel fuel. Craig is a certified marine surveyor, diesel technician and is certified by ABYC. We catch up with Craig at a Diesel Maintenance workshop he is conducting at the Mimico Cruising Club in Mississauga, ON.

Canada’s Superior: the North Shore

Story and photos by Jennifer M. Smith
