6. Microbial contamination of diesel fuel - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microbial_contamination_of...

   Diesel bug is contamination of diesel fuel by microbes such as bacteria and fungi. [1] Water can get into diesel fuel as a result of condensation, rainwater penetration or adsorption from the air — modern biodiesel is especially hygroscopic. The presence of water then encourages microbial growth which either occurs at the interface between ...
