One Product is Kill 'em and another is Petrolabs "Diesel Power" They both prevent the formation of Algae and harmful acids.

I buy mine through a fuel distributer, Chevron (Home oil, gasoline, diesel)

I have no E-mail for either of these but the phone number for Petrolabs is:

(619) 223-0351

Good luck,
Rog

Power Service, makes Biocide, NAPA has one but I can't remember the name. Any fuel supplier will have it.

In my neck of the woods (Calif.) the boat dealers never heard of BioBor let alone Algae. One thing I did learn is ya just gotta read the can and if it don't mention "Algae" move on to the next.

Ya'd thing that Cali don't have a coast line.

Good luck in your hunt,
Rog
