Water in fuel is inevitable and unavoidable. Water and hydrogen molecules act as food for microbial growth which is exponential. When anaerobic bacteria form on the bottom, the microbial sludge is held together by complex sugars acting as glue to hold the colony together and protect it. Regular biocides are ineffective against these colonies. Furthermore, these play a significant role in the corrosion process as they excrete acids which contribute to the establishment of anodic corrosion cell sites. These will turn into tiny, pinpricks of holes that cause leaks in very short order – even in new tanks – unless properly protected against.
