#16 - Tackling the dreaded diesel bug - our tank was full of it! Now its bug, water and rust free.

Our engine ran poorly and a run test with an auxiliary tank and fresh diesel showed that contaminated fuel was the problem - the dreaded diesel bug! In this video Jason from Clean Fuel Marine pays a visit to sort the problem out. Although filtering can remove the bug, if you still have water in the fuel the bug will come straight back. Clean Fuel Marine, an authorised agent of Tankbusters, use 1 micron filters to filter out the bug, magnetic filters to pick up rust & metal debris, and most importantly, water filters to take the water out of the fuel. Without water, the bug can't survive so this stage is really important - beware of inferior 'fuel polishing' services that filter the bug, but leave the water in the fuel! Below are the contact details you'll need if you have a similar problem to us. Do give Narrowboat Adventures' a mention too if you contact them :-) Jason can be contacted on 07757 221 776 or online at: www.cleanfuelmarine.co.uk/ [email protected] Instagram: @cleanfuelmarine Tankbusters, who we first contacted, can be found here: www.tankbusters.co.uk/ Hope that you find this useful folks. Please leave a comment if you did, or if you have a question about the process. Thanks :-) Adrian & Lynda
