Abstract
Process for inhibition of microorganisms in liquid hydrocarbons by the introduction of one or more biocidal agents into these hydrocarbons, which also include a small quantity of water and a surface-active compound. This treatment is particularly useful for preserving liquid hydrocarbons such as petrol, kerosene, gasoline or domestic fuel while being stored.
