Bacteria, moulds and yeasts can all grow rapidly in fuel tanks! Free water, warmth and condensation in the fuel form the basis for growth of the Diesel Bugs. -> Bacteria, moulds, and yeasts can all grow rapidly in fuel tanks!

Standard diesel grades are clear and usually light yellow. If you notice any change in color, it could indicate the presence of the diesel bug. The only way to be sure is to test the fuel!

When fossil diesel is mixed with eco-friendly biodiesel, it becomes a rich food source for microbes. This causes the microbes to multiply and produce more “biomass”. The biomass can block the filters, corrode the metal, and damage the engine.
You can use the CMT Fuel Filter Bacteria Tests to check if your diesel fuel has bacteria. If your filter is clogged, you can use the Dip Slide Test to find out why. Just put some of the residue from the filter on the dip slide and let it grow. If you see bugs on the slide, they are the cause of the clogging. If not, it means there is some other dirt in the filter.
