we use biocide where I work but it is only for diesel that is sitting for any period of time, we carry 800,000 ltr of diesel as a second fuel source (Natural gas the main fuel) so it does sit alittle. I cant remember where we get it but I can find out, if memory serves me it is not cheap. maybe if water is a problem then you made need to look at a different supplier or drain the tank and clean. After a cup of metho will absorb water before refilling with diesel.
Normally cars have a high usage of diesel and microbiological activity is not a problem.

check on supplier for you and price.

Thanks you sensei !
As i will be away for couple months and doesn't want any chance for microorganism to take advantage of this period, I need to take some necessary precaution.
If you can find some more info and price, would you please get back to me or email to me : kelnanhkjp@hotmail.com

I use a product called Chemtech Diesel tretment at a rate of 40ml per 100 litres
This should do the trick
