Shocking a contaminated diesel fuel tank will definitely cause all the growth to die = a very good thing.
My secondary fuel filter will be changed within two days, it is loaded with dead sludge, the tank has been shocked three times in six months = total filter life of current cartridge will have been seven months.
I keep my fuel tank full, pure fresh vegetable oil or diesel.

Sorry, I must disagree.
I am looking at a bottle of Biobor JF. The stated "shock treatment" dosage is 1 oz per 40 gallons. Maintenance dosage is 1 oz per 80 gallons. Therefore 1 oz per tank is double the recommended shock dosage or 4 times the recommended maintenance dosage. This product, although it doesn't have a skull and crossbones on it, is a highly concentrated pesticide and should not be used improperly.
Just my 2 cents worth, but also just common sense.
If the spec says to tighten a bolt to a torque spec of 50, we wouldn't take it upon ourselves to tighten it to 120 would we?
