Fuel Hygiene Equipment

Fuel Hygiene

There are a number of different types of micro-organisms that can grow in certain types of fuel.

• The biggest problem is presented by a filamentous fungus called Hormoconis resinae, (H Res).  
• Previously called Cladosporium resinae, and more commonly referred to as “the diesel bug”.
• H Res is a fungus that thrives in diesel fuel. It requires only a minimal amount of water content in the fuel to grow and will cause filter blockages, component failure and tank corrosion if left unchecked.
• Bacteria and other types of fungi, particularly some yeasts can also cause problems in fuel tanks, usually acting as a consortium.
