Drew's Amerstat* 10 Wipes

Out Fuel Infestations

Engine malfunctions and energy loss due to blockages and flow re- strictions from microbial infestation in tanks, fuel lines, filters and injec- tors, major cleaning operations that require fuel offloading and demur- rage, and corrosion from microbial growth can reportedly be avoided through AmerstatR 10 fuel microbiocide from Drew Ameroid

Marine Division of Ashland Chemi- cal, Boonton, N.J. Just a little water in fuel can reportedly set off rapid growth of bacteria, fungi and yeasts, and hot weather reportedly wors- ens the problem.

Soluble in water, Amerstat 10 is formulated to seek the water phase where the microbial populations live and reproduce, reportedly eliminat- ing a wide variety of organisms and suppressing reinoculation. A clear, concentrated liquid available in 25- liter pails, Amerstat 10 can be used as each bunker is loaded or kept on hand to use as needed.
