Tom,
Fungus is common in any regular diesel fuel and can be in any biofuel as
well. It is not bad other than you will plug filters much faster and it
can cause corrosion if it is the right type. Nothing

I suspect I have microbes
in my recent batches of BD.
After washing, I drained the BD and allowed it to

anti-microbial to see if it clears up? Or, try a third jar that is
innoculated and treated with anti-microbial?
Is there a microbiologist on the list?
