Overview
SOME BASICS Let's start out with some basics: * Corrosion - This is the process of meta~ being destroyed by a chemica~ action. * Delamination - This is a mode of fai~ure for composite materia~s. A significant contributor to these conditions can be traced to the changes in fue~ resufting from both the Renewable Fuel Standard and Energy Independence and the Security Act of 2007 which mandated significant changes in fueL The most agreeab~e cause is the increased acetic acid in fue~ produced by microbes which produce aggressive action on components. Be aware that products that contain forms of alcohol: * Can have difficulty removing Large amounts of free (dear) water. * Are often good \"food\" for bacteria and other troub~esome microorganisms. * Can cause swelling and breakdown of gasket and sear materia~s. Biocides. Because s~udge-producing bacteria is found in all fue~ systems, one so~ution for reducing corrosion is to kill acid-causing bacteria with biocides, Unfortunate~y, if there is any water present in the tank, biocides become totally ineffective.
