I regularly add algicide to customers tanks (along with some DFS and diesel kleen) to treat it for them when I have cars in for ANY reason. Most people just drive and take little effort to see that their fuel system is clean and healthy.

Filling up on trips is the most common time to get an infection (like what happened to you), so carrying biocide for each away-from-home fill is a good idea. Hopefully many will learn from your experience. Also, filling up at truck stops will minimize the risk.
