Marine 16 Diesel Bug Treatment

Marine 16 Diesel Bug Treatment is a biocide formulated specifically to prevent or eradicate the microbial contamination collectively known as diesel bug.

DBT – Diesel Bug Treatment is a broad-spectrum biocide that tackles yeast, mould and bacteria in fuel. A 100 ml bottle is sufficient to prevent diesel bug growth in 2,000 litres of fuel (50 ppm). The treatment disperses into both the water and fuel phases in your tank and remains active for over a year at both high and low temperatures.

Marine 16’s Diesel Bug Treatment is the fuel treatment of choice for the RNLI, the Royal Marines, Sea Start and River Canal Rescue, and was rated number 1 in the Practical Boat Owner magazine review.

• Prevention dose: 100 ml per 2,000 L (50 ppm)
• Eradication: dose appropriately for contamination levels
• Phase action: disperses into water and fuel phases
• Longevity: remains active for 12+ months in varying temperatures
• Engine safety: overdosing will not harm your engine

Note: Diesel Bug exists because there is water present. Drain any water from the tank regularly, at least once per month. If the tank has no drain plug, consider a Diesel Dipper to remove water while underway.
