Your pool algicide will likely not kill the bacteria or fungus in your tank. Algea need light to grow. The stuff in your tank is either bacteria or fungus. You'll want to use a diesel biocide or, if you can assure that you rinse it out completely some other biocide. Diesel biocide will burn harmlessly in your fuel, other biocides may not.
