Default $5 a gallon for gas? Get ready, experts say

Watching TV news, a woman in Old Saybrook bought a VW Jetta diesel
engine car.A VW shop told her it will cost in excess of $10,000 to clean
out all of the Algae from her car's fuel system.They reccomend a product
by the name of Stanadyne, or some such additive, be added with every
fill up.

If the the Algae doesn't 'git us' that Ethanol will!

We do too. I get the impression you're in the UK? If so, WTF happened to
the BBC?!?!?! They were always my reliable source for the Straight Dope,
but in the last few years they have swung so far to the left it gave me
vertigo!

We don't like it when other countries use the Kiwi as a marketing tool,
ever since we forgot to trademark kiwifruit.
If you want a kiwifruit from N.Z it's labeled Zespri© LOL

Bacterial and mold growth in diesel and jet fuel has long been in issue.
If the fuel were kept clean and dry, there might not be a problem, but
that is not always the case.

Dow Angus has traditionally made a product that was specified by
a number of companies for this application.. Bioban was the name,
IIRC.
