Treating your fuel with additives
In this guide we have provided you with information on additives to apply to your fuel. We stock a wide range of additives to protect fuel from contamination and to treat microbial growth.
How does microbial growth develop?
Microbial growth can be caused by a number of factors. One of the most common reasons for fuel contamination is when water enters the tank.
When water enters the tank it combines with the oil and affects the state of the heating and cooling process inside the tank. Oil tanks often collect water through condensation due to the daily temperature changes, which can cause; water build up inside the tank and microbial growth. If left untreated it will continue to grow, contaminating the oil and heating system. Another way water can enter the tank is through split vents and caps.
For more information:
Anti Bug Protect
Anti Bug Protect is designed to clean the fuel which prevents microbial growth such as bacteria, fungi and yeast.
When to use Anti Bug Protect?
Anti Bug Protect can be applied with each delivery of heating oil. This will keep the oil and tank healthy and protect it against microbial growth.
Key features of Anti Bug Protect
Formulated to protect the fuel against microbial growth
Avoid costly tank repair or replacements
Eliminates plugging of filters and gauges
Protects against tank and pipe corrosion
Cleans within 24 to 36 hours
Anti Bug Kill
Anti Bug Kill is formulated to treat contaminated fuel.
When to use Anti Bug Kill?
Treat your fuel immediately if microbial growth has been detected inside the tank.
