Just a small correction. Algae does not and cannot grow in fuel tanks. No light -- no algae. What does grow in the tank are microbes, which feed on diesel fuel. This is what clogs the fuel lines and fuel filters.

It is called Algae and feeds off of the moisture that is in fuel. If you keep the moisture to a minimum , you can reduce the chances of growing algae in the fuel.

Algae need lightfor the process ofphotosynthesis as they are technically plants.
The process of photosynthesis, providesalgae with the fuel for life, namely sugars.
Microbes and bacteria are organisms and get food/fuel from other sources.
