There is plenty of stored fuel across the country. This includes gas stations, fire stations, police stations, and even some lesser-known buildings such as nursing home facilities and hospitals. All of this stored fuel has to be taken care of and so, I am going to be talking about a specific aspect of taking care of that fuel. In this episode, we will dive into the topic of biocides, what you should use to solve microbial issues in stored fuel, and how to ensure you’re using the right product to take care of your fuel.
Listen in as I explain what happens if you do not check your fuel regularly and what can happen if your fuel becomes contaminated and unusable. You will learn where biocides are used most frequently, how to tell if you’re about to purchase a legally approved biocide, and how biocides are approved.
