Diesel bug

Chatting to our Dutch boating friends we have discovered an additive available that is supposed to combat the dreaded bug. It's called Acticide. Has anyone come across it in the UK? We're going to look it up when we're back.

It’s not the first product that makes these claims and it won’t be the last.

Marine 16 products seem well respected, but that doesn’t answer your question.  I have not heard of it.

Sounds like a biocide type and several are available in the UK including Marine 16

Just be careful. Look carefully at the dosage instructions. Overdosing can cause more problems than not dosing at all.
