I have a bottle of it in my trunk, and have been using it for over a year. I haven't checked to see if the pieces of black gunk in the bottom of the tank are gone yet. I haven't had any problems with pieces breaking off and clogging the primary filter, but that's just my experience.

BioBor is an example of a biocide.
Asphalt? Please explain how asphalt got in the tank. Asphalt is sticky. Algae is slimy, black but not sticky.

This link is from Starbright, maker of Star Tron for diesel. There is no mention of asphalt.
