CAUTION
However, water bottoms drained from treated fuel tanks after a long period may contain significant amounts
of biocide and should not be disposed overboard, in lakes or streams because of possibility of toxicity to fish.
B.
In some instances of fuel stability/cleanliness problems, it will be necessary to analyze fuel samples to
determine the cause of the problem. As laboratory results are no better than the sample, obtaining truly
representative samples is of paramount importance and cannot be overstressed. No amount of laboratory
work will give reliable data on a product if the sample is not representative or is contaminated with other
materials.
C.
Samples should be 1 gallon in size, and sample containers should be clean, dry, 1-gallon cans.
D.
Do not take samples through storage tank cleanout lines, manifolds, water draw-offs, bleeder valves, hose
nozzles, etc. , as such samples may not be representative of the product in the tank. When it is necessary
to sample fuel tanks, and access to such tanks cannot be gained through a manhole or sampling hatch, the
tanks may be sampled through the supply line after first discharging from the line a volume of the product
estimated at two times the capacity of the piping system.
E.
Close all sample containers tightly immediately after taking the sample. Do not use sealing wax, paraffin,
rubber gaskets, pressure-sensitive tapes, or similar materials to seal containers.
F.
Identify each sample container immediately after sampling by securely attaching a sample tag. Information
on the tag should include the location of the activity at which the sample is taken, name of person taking the
sample, grade of material, quantity represented, specification of material when known, fuel storage tank
number and location, watercraft hull number and name if applicable, date sample was taken, type of sample,
and reason for sample.
G.
In cases where fuel filter plugging is occurring, the plugged fuel filter should be retained in a clean container.
The filter may be analyzed to determine what is actually plugging the filter. Fuel samples will be required
along with the filter in the event that the filter plugging is caused by fuel degradation products. All samples
should be labeled thoroughly.

ORDERING INFORMATION
A.
Ordering information for the two components of MIL-S-53021 is listed below by nomenclature, unit of issue,
and NSN. (NOTE: In this manual, the biocide component is referred to as simply "JF" however, it is listed in
the Federal Supply Catalog as "BIOBOR JF".)
1.
BIOBOR JF, Biocide, 55 gallon drum, NSN 6840-01-041-0098
2.
FSP-55, Stabilizer, Diesel Fuel, 55 gallon drum, NSN 6850-01-167-4788
3.

4.
FSP-55, Stabilizer, 5 gallon can, NSN 6850-1-167-4789
Items 1 and 2 together will treat 275,000 gallons of fuel and cost approximately $2100. Items 3 and 4 together will
treat 25,000 gallons of fuel and cost approximately $250. Prices are subject to change based on the depot
acquisition costs.
