How do you get fungus out of fuel tank?

Answer 1

Hi,

There are 2 ways you can do this.

1, drain the tank through some kind of very fine strainer or gauze and then take the tank to be steamed clean at a specialist who steams and dries fuel tanks.

Or

2, buy a fungus killer for fuel tanks. In the UK we call this problem Diesel Bug or Diesel Weed, there is a product made by Carlube called Marine Bio-Diesel which kills and breaks up the fungus. it also prevents re-growth in the tank providing there is still some in there. I use it in my boat and spare truck that don't see a lot of use and i did get this problem before.

Answer 2

One option is to use a fuel tank cleaner specifically designed to remove fungus. Another method involves draining the tank, cleaning it with a mixture of hot water and detergent, rinsing it thoroughly, and allowing it to dry completely before refilling it with fresh fuel. It's important to address the root cause to prevent future fungal growth.
