Dad and I refurbished a 9570 Northwest crane about 20 years ago. It had been sitting for about 10 years, with about 100 gallons of fuel in a 200 gallon tank. That was the first time we ran into the 'microbe' contamination.
The old MP 21 Murphy started and ran like a dream, until the filters clogged. They drained the tank, opened the hand holes, and steam cleaned it, before filling with new fuel.
A few days later they went to move it across a road that divided the sand pit. Enough new goop had grown in that time that it collapsed about a 3 foot long sock filter to about half it's length, blew the gaskets on the filter housings, and shut them down with the road blocked.
That's when we learned all about this kind of problem, and it was a challenge finding anybody that even knew what a biocide was. When people started having problems after Katrina, it's common now to see the auto parts stores keeping it on the shelf. That's a good thing given the new biojunk they are forcing on everybody now.
