Serious microorganism control requires an exceptional microbicide. Primrose MP8 kills bacteria and fungi in a number of industrial applications which normally require different products. MP8 is quick, effective and economical. Shipped by common freight carriers only Chemical product, handle with extreme care.
Available by the case. Ships directly from the manufacturer. Hazardous freight restrictions, no UPS or USPS. Freight carriers only.
USES & APPLICATIONS:
Crude and Refined Fuel Oils:
Use in olefinic, aromatic, paraffinic and naphthenic oils as an oil-soluble preservative during bulk storage. Use to eliminate or prevent growth of microorganisms in distillate and residual fuels including gasoline, #1 diesel, #2 diesel and Bunker C, where such fuels are used in bulk storage tanks, locomotives, boats and ships, farm equipment, construction equipment, and diesel generators.
Drilling Fluids:
Use to stabilize several types of drilling fluids and muds used in drilling of wells where such fluids are subject to microbiological degradation.
Petroleum Secondary Recovery:
Use to control slime-forming bacteria and other problem-causing microorganisms in floods, waterdisposed systems, and other oilfield water systems.

Common questions about MP8 Microbicide for bulk fuel & long term storage - Hazardous Freight
-
What does MP8 microbicide do?
Primrose MP8 Microbicide kills bacteria and fungi in fuel and other industrial applications, including bacteria that cause fouling and corrosion, and Primrose notes that any algae present will also be killed. It is an EPA-registered pesticide that combines two microbicides for broad-spectrum control, used in fuels, crude and refined oils, drilling fluids and oilfield water systems according to the label instructions for each application.
-
How much MP8 do I add per 100 gallons of diesel?
Add 1.25 to 2.5 fluid ounces of Primrose MP8 per 100 gallons of fuel, or 2.5 ounces (1 gallon per 5,120 gallons) for shock or clean-up, with the tank filled to the top. MP8 is for commercial and industrial use only and may exceed the federal 15 ppm sulfur standard for diesel fuel in 2007 and newer diesel vehicles and 2011 and newer nonroad engines. Always follow the product label directions.
-
What fuels and equipment can MP8 be used in?
Primrose MP8 can be used to eliminate or prevent microorganism growth in fuels including gasoline, #1 diesel, #2 diesel and Bunker C used in bulk storage tanks, locomotives, boats and ships, farm and construction equipment, and diesel generators. Primrose also lists crude and refined oils in bulk storage, drilling fluids and oilfield water systems. MP8 is not for aviation fuels and is for commercial and industrial use only.
-
Can MP8 be used in ultra low sulfur diesel (ULSD)?
For ULSD use, Primrose warns that MP8 may exceed the federal 15 ppm sulfur standard for diesel fuel required in 2007 and newer diesel motor vehicles or model year 2011 and newer diesel nonroad equipment engines. Improper use of this additive may result in non-complying diesel fuel, and MP8 is for commercial and industrial use only.
-
How do I know if my fuel tank has bacteria or algae growing in it?
Primrose's MP8 bulletin lists black, brown or green slime (sometimes called algae), a rotten eggs smell and frequent filter clogging as signs that bacteria or fungi may be growing in the fuel. Primrose recommends MP8 when a test for bacteria or yeast is positive, or when you want to prevent them.
