Stop these creatures before they stop up your fuel system.^^??

Your fuel tanks are the perfect breeding grounds for fungi and microorganisms that thrive in diesel and other hydrocarbon fuels.

They produce a kind of slime that clogs filters and pipelines and can destroy metal surfaces.

All of which means nothing but trouble.

To save yourself all that trouble, just add

BIOBOR® JF fuel fungicide. About a gallon of

BIOBOR JF in 5,000 gallons of fuel will eliminate microorganisms and improve fuel stability without harming parts or interfering with performance.

So keep trouble from breeding in your fuel system. Find out more about BIOBOR JF from your distributor, or write to Industrial Chemicals

Department, U.S. Borax, 3075 Wilshire

Boulevard, Los Angeles, CA 90010.
