Biologicals live in the interface between the water and the fuel. The Fuel is used for food and their body-wastes are what create the problem in fuel and corrosion in tanks and systems.
Removing the water is a start…but that does not get rid of the spores that subsequentlygerminate and start things anew.
The only ”real” solution for fuel storage tanks is to use anti-biologicals.

I have a 2016 L2501 in CA and have had an issue causing the motor to bog down on the slightest of grade or workload. The tractor does not get a ton of use and has about 400 hrs on it. Could this diesel mushroom phenomenon be the cause or the bogging down, and might the Biobor JF additive mentioned be a corrective measure?

I purchased some of this Biopor JF additive and put some in the fuel tank. After a week or so I changed out the fuel filter and drained a bit of fuel from the lines and now my L2501 runs great, so I believe this stuff made a big difference.
