How to grow Petrol Pets...

If you mix water with diesel petrol, you can grow microbes; this is known as the ’diesel bug’. The microbes that grow can feed off the hydrocarbons in the petrol formula. They form a thick slimy biofilm which can cause expensive problems in fuel tanks. I’ve been growing this microbe mix for over 2 months - they sit in a sunny spot on my window sill - obviously, I’m a trained pro, so don’t try this at home - I’ve read heaps about it, but no one has really shown what it looks like under a microscope - so I had to investigate this myself - Interesting visuals! #shorts #microscope #science #diesel #petrol #fuel #dieselbug #bug #jetpets #petrolpets #fuelfriends
