ComStar Hum-Out Diesel Fuel Biocide 16 oz

ComStar Hum-Out Diesel Fuel Biocide 16 oz

Diesel fuel tanks on boats are a prime environment for microbial growth. Bacteria, algae, and fungi thrive at the water-fuel interface that naturally forms in marine tanks producing the dark sludge and slime that clogs filters, corrodes tank walls, and causes hard-starting and rough-running engines. Hum-Out kills that microbial contamination at the source.

A single treatment with ComStar Hum-Out eliminates existing microbial colonies and prevents regrowth, keeping your fuel system clean and your engine running reliably. Its compatible with all diesel engines and fuel system components, and wont harm injectors, seals, or filters.

Parts Desk Insights

Best use case: This is a strong recommendation for any customer with a diesel-powered boat, particularly those who store their vessel over winter with fuel in the tank. Microbial contamination is one of the most common and underdiagnosed causes of diesel engine problems in marine applications customers often chase injector or filter issues without realizing the root cause is biological. Hum-Out is an easy, affordable fix and a great add-on sale at spring commissioning or when a customer is buying fuel filters. If a customer is already dealing with a contaminated tank, recommend a double-dose initial treatment followed by annual preventive doses going forward.
