FQS 1.5 Microbicide
FQS 1.5 Microbicide® is an EPA approved antimicrobial agent used in the control of bacteria and fungi in fuel systems that store liquid hydrocarbon fuels and oils such as: crude oils, petrochemical feed stocks, liquefied petroleum gasses, gasoline, diesel fuel oils, kerosene, coal slurries, renewable fuel blend stock and renewable fuel blends.
FQS 1.5 Microbicide® has the same active ingredients as *Kathon FP 1.5 Microbicide. It also has the same speed of kill, proven treat rate of 1:10,000, persistence and pricing.
FAST ACTING – FQS 1.5 Microbicide® has shown to decrease microbial activity in as quickly as 5 hours after initial treatment.
TREAT RATE: Typical effective treat rate is 100 ppm or 1 gallon FQS 1.5 Microbicide® to 10,000 gallons fuel product. Fuel systems with severe microbial contamination can undergo treatments of up to 400 ppm.

FQS LTSA-430 Fuel Stabilizer
LTSA-430 is a multifunctional stabilizer additive that provides functional and performance protection to burner and diesel fuels, including biodiesel blends up to B5, through the use of antioxidants to inhibit fuel oxidation processes which can lead to darkening of the fuel and sediment formation; metal deactivators that can lead to metal-catalyzed oxidation degradation of the fuel; dispersants that retards the agglomeration of fuel degradation products such as gums and particulates that are responsible for filter plugging, and a corrosion inhibitor that is effective in both oil and water wetted phases. LTSA-430 contains the chemistry required for intermediate (6-24 months) and long-term (24-60 months) stabilization of middle distillates and has also found widespread application in a number of non-military and commercial applications that store fuel, such as utilities, standby diesel generators, and home heating oil that also use burner and diesel fuels, including biodiesel blends up to BX-B100. When used as directed, LTSA-430 does not endanger the sulfur limits of ULSD fuels.

MicrobMonitor2® Test Kit
MicrobMonitor2® Test Kit is IATA approved and recognized by major airframe manufacturers for aviation fuel and is easy to use. You can test the water or fuel phase of hydrocarbon fuels. The kit consists of a test bottle containing a nutrient gel that promotes the growth of bacteria and yeast/molds. Once a sample has been added to the bottle, the container is incubated as instructed, dark place for 1 to 4 days for bacteria and 3 additional days for yeast & mold. The microbes actually grow in and on the gel. They will show up as red or purplish red dots in the sample bottle indicating a positive result. If you require a quantitative number, there is a color chart to compare the results against.
Generally, any positive growth requires action. Call FQS to consult on possible treatment options.
The MicrobMonitor2® can be used to test both the fuel/oil phase and the water phase.
IATA approved for aviation fuels
Product Number: FQS-035

MicrobMonitor GMF
What is the test?The MicrobMonitor GMF is an easy to use test kit for microbial contamination in diesel and marine fuels with simple to read, reliable results. A small sample of fuel is added into a bottle containing a specially formulated gel. The tests bottle is then placed in a warm location and the number of microbial colony forming units (CFU) that develop indicates the severity the of contamination. Each box includes a single MicrobMonitor GMF test, a sterile sampling container and a sterile disposable dispenser for measuring fuel sample.
What is the test used for?
To assess the presence and extent of bacterial and fungal contamination in ground and marine fuels in storage, distribution and use, including:
- Marine diesel and gas oil
- Automotive diesel and gasoline, including biofuels
- Heating oils and fuels for power generation
Who can use the test?
ANYONE - no special skills or equipment are needed, full instructions are provided, and tests can be used on-site.
Why test for microbes in fuel?
Microbial contamination in ground and marine fuels has caused power generation failures, large scale fleet disruptions, and power and propulsion loss in ships. If left unchecked contamination can:
- Restrict the flow of fuel by blocking filters and pipes.
- Corrode tanks
- Degrade fuel quality
Regular testing for microbes together with a good maintenance regime can:
- Improve asset performance
- Reduce operational and safety risks
Bug Alert Test Kit
The Bug Alert® Test Kit is a good “go” - “no go” microbial fuel test.
Kits are complete and ready to use.
No special training needed.
Results as soon as 72 hours.
Effective control of microbial contamination through biocide use is only possible when routine monitoring of fungi and bacteria levels are performed. The Bug Alert® test kit makes routine determinations of fungal and bacteria populations quick and easy. The Bug Alert® test kit contains flexible plastic strips with dehydrated nutrient pad. The kit is complete and ready to use. No special equipment or training is necessary. Test results can be read Aerobic Bacteria (AB) 24-36 hrs. and Yeast & Mold (YM) 72 hrs.
The YM stands for Yeast and Molds (fungi), these are closely related organisms and generally require the same conditions for growth. Test results may be read as early as 72 hours and may take an additional 3 days for final results to be seen. The AB stands for Aerobic Bacteria, those organisms which require oxygen. Most bacteria that contaminates the industrial environment are in this category and will grow on the AB test strip. The kit contains dehydrated pads and requires no refrigeration.
If the test strips are positive for bugs, call FQS to consult on possible treatment options. If the test strips are negative, the next step would be to check for SRB (Sulfate Reducing Bacteria) anaerobic bacteria to determine if this might be the problem. A bottom fuel sample is required for microbiological testing.

Fuel Sampling Kit
Different tests and/or analysis require samples taken from specific points and levels in a tank or fuel storage system (i.e. dead bottom, middle). To aid in this task, FQS offers a Fuel Sampling Kit equipped with all the necessary supplies needed to properly collect a fuel sample for testing. We can customize the kit to meet your specific sampling needs. Fuel Samplers (formerly known as Bacon Bombs) range from 4 ounces up to 32 ounces. Ensure that you collect the proper amount of fuel and that the sample is drawn from the proper location of the fuel system. Insufficient fuel sample or sample taken from the wrong location may affect the analysis results.
This kit, in combination with our field test kits gives you everything you need to pull a tank sample and test for microbial growth at your location. If test results are positive for bugs, Contact FQS to consult on possible treatment options.
