A. Most fuels, including ExxonMobil diesel, do not contain a biocide component to control microbiological activity. The best approach to control biological growth is to limit water contamination in fuel storage systems, as even the smallest amount of water present in a fuel storage tank can provide a habitat for microbe growth. This includes dormant microbe spores that would likely go unnoticed/undetected by simple test methods. Biocides are effective to use on a case-by-case basis to treat an existing overgrowth of microbes. Biocides are expensive components meant to exterminate living organisms, and are not intended to be used continuously.
