Jim has a very good point, that microbiological growth (MBG) can form very slimey matts at the fuel/water interface in your fuel tank...I know very well from my experience as a scientific consultant to the Canadian Navy and biocides are not the answer long term...the bugs can adapt and learn to survive quite well even in biocide treated fuel...they live in the water and survive on the fuel, common candida yeast species for the most part in this MBG, only long effective term solution is to keep the water out of your fuel tank
