Microbial fuel decontamination

A company called ESI has a product they claim decontaminates diesel microbial growth by filtering it thru ceramic magnets. If you Google "ESI De-bug decontamination system" there are lots of hits. Does it work? Anybody with experience? Frankly I am skeptical. Remember those ads for the "magnetic mileage boosters" for your cars fuel lines? Pure bunk! I'm wondering if this is more of the same. It seems to me that if it worked we would all be using it and everybody would know about it.

You know what the first rule of sailing is? ...Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take
a boat to the sea you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps
her going when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurting 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.

Most of the growth problems in fuel tanks are related to water that has condensated out of the air. Keep tanks topped up and have a provision for draining water out of tank.
