Trusted worldwide since 1965 and OEM-approved, it extends engine life by maintaining a sterile fuel system and reducing corrosion. ## Description Biobor JF - All the Fuel, All the Time! Biobor JF has been the most widely used and recommended fuel biocide and lubricity additive for over 56 years. Recommended specifically by numerous major diesel engine manufacturers, Biobor JF will eliminate and prevent microbial growth in your fuel and dramatically increase the life of your filters. Additionally, Biobor JF adds lubricity back to ULSD, protecting your injectors and fuel pumps while also preventing corrosion. For the life of your engine and the quality of your fuel, trust Biobor JF, the worldwide standard since 1965. Why use Biobor JF? Biobor JF has been the worldwide standard for the treatment of microbial growth in fuel since 1965. Originally developed for use in the commercial and military aviation industries, Biobor JF has continued to provide a tract record of proven reliability and effectiveness in numerous diesel-powered industries for over 56 years. To add to this impressive pedigree, Biobor JF is the only diesel biocide that is recommended by name by many of the major diesel engine manufacturers across the globe. Microbial Growth: When discussing issues in diesel fuel, microbial growth is widely known as the most common reason for fuel related engine failure. Inherently, diesel fuel and fuel tanks have the tendency to accumulate water whether by tank condensation, entrained water from fuel delivery or just receiving a bad batch of fuel. To compound this issue, today’s ULSD can successfully carry much higher concentrations of water providing a breeding ground for HUM Bugs (or Hydrocarbon Utilizing Micro-organisms). Hum-bugs live in the water phase of a fuel tank and feed off of the fuel developing dark, slimy gel-like mats. As these colonies of bacteria and fungi grow (potentially at a rate of doubling every 20 minutes), they can quickly clog fuel filters, plug injectors and lead to excessive sludge accumulation. Additionally, their waste products are one of the leading causes of corrosion in fuel tanks and metal components. With the continued use of Biobor JF, microbial growth will be eliminated from the fuel system leading to a sterile fuel system, extending the life of fuel filters and preventing corrosion issues. Lubricity in Ultra-Low Sulfur Diesel: Since the introduction of ULSD, engine manufactures have recognized and encouraged the need for additional lubrication in today’s diesel fuels. Due to the refining process necessary to reduce sulfur levels, the natural lubrication properties of diesel fuel have been greatly reduced. Essential to the protection and life of injection systems and fuel pumps, diesel engine owners are seeing a detrimental effect on these systems. Biobor JF has been proven to restore these lubricity levels, exceeding AS standards and protecting injectors and pumps from premature wear. (AS-D6079 HFRR- engine manufacturer and industry standard testing). Solve the two most common issues faced by engine owners with the one product used by engine manufacturers, commercial airlines, the US Military and diesel vessel operators alike, Biobor JF. Review: good for diesel additives - super useful for diesel additives. no leaks , store it upright in a bed box. seems durable , no issues yet at year 4. Review: Cheap Insurance. - My diesel pickup sits more than it's driven which we know is bad on many levels. With all the garbage in biodiesel, this is a must have product for me. My state requires all diesel to be bio. Last thing I need is some science project to be growing in my tank. Lasts a long time at the required dosage. Sometimes,the dose is small so I put this in the funnel first and flush it through with my dose of Hotshots EDT before filling the tank. Never clogged a filter with this in the tank. Also used for diesel generator fuel that sits for a looong time sometimes. Never a problem. People will tell you, you don't need this. Maybe not with premium fuel or if you run through your fuel regularly. In my case, it's cheap insurance. ## Features - KILLS & PREVENTS BACTERIA. Highly effective biocide to kill and prevent microbial growth in aviation fuels and aircraft (bacteria & fungi). Lubricates injectors and fuel pumps. - INCREASES LUBRICITY. As an added benefit, BioborJF has been proven to increase the lubricity properties of jet fuel, providing additional protection and reduced wear to fuel delivery components - OEM APPROVED. Proven to restore lubricity levels, exceeding AS standards and protecting injectors and pumps from premature wear. (AS-D6079 HFRR- engine manufacturer and industry standard testing). ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B001HWT1XW | | Best Sellers Rank | #36,311 in Automotive ( See Top 100 in Automotive ) #190 in Oil & Fluid Additives | | Brand | BIOBOR | | Brand Name | BIOBOR | | Contains Liquid Contents? | Yes | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 278 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00694481000101 | | Has liquid contents | Yes | | Item Weight | 0.5 Pounds | | Item weight | 0.5 Pounds | | Model Number | BB08EZ01US | | Part Number | BB08EZ01US | | UPC | 784427906359 694481000101 | ## Product Details - **Brand:** BIOBOR - **Global Trade Identification Number:** 00694481000101 - **Item Weight:** 8 ounces - **Manufacturer:** Hammonds Fuel Additives, Inc. - **Unit Count:** 1 Count ## Images ![240ml Biobor JF MicroBiocide Diesel Fuel Sludge Slime Bacteria Tank Treatment Biocide - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61jiYfDfsRL.jpg) ![240ml Biobor JF MicroBiocide Diesel Fuel Sludge Slime Bacteria Tank Treatment Biocide - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61DIzgwbY-L.jpg) ![240ml Biobor JF MicroBiocide Diesel Fuel Sludge Slime Bacteria Tank Treatment Biocide - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51lR-B1Xc2L.jpg) ![240ml Biobor JF MicroBiocide Diesel Fuel Sludge Slime Bacteria Tank Treatment Biocide - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61Yic7mUiiL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: How do you know if you have bacterial growth in a tank?** A: Generally it will tend to clog fuel filters and return low mileage. I use the Biobor as “preventative” maintenance. When our motorhome sits for extended periods of time I add a coupe to a few ounces a month. So far all is well. **Q: Is there any way to treat 5 gallons at a time ?** A: The maintenance treat rate of Biobor JF is 1oz : 80 gallons of fuel. 5 gallons would require approximately 2mL of additive (or 1/16 of an ounce). **Q: How long will diesel stay "fresh" after adding Bibor to a 50 gallon tank?** A: keeps diesel fresh for up to 24 months. **Q: Is this also considered a stabilizer, or just an "algaecide"? If used for storage, how long does it extend the storage life?** A: I only use it as a biocide. And it keeps algae and water well under control. My engines are diesels. I always top off the tanks at the beginning of Lay-up and make certain BioBor is in the tanks. I don't worry abut stabilizing the fuel since winter temperatures almost never hit even 20 degrees Fahrenheit. I'll then burn off that fuel by June, so it's plenty fresh. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ good for diesel additives *by G***T on 8 October 2026* super useful for diesel additives. no leaks , store it upright in a bed box. seems durable , no issues yet at year 4. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Cheap Insurance. *by A***. on 3 August 2026* My diesel pickup sits more than it's driven which we know is bad on many levels.
