Avoid diesel pollution – protect your boat, tank and engine
Reliably prevent water and bacteria in the diesel tank
Water and bacteria in the diesel tank are not a harmless nuisance, but are among the most common causes of engine damage in motor boats. The so-called Diesel Bug often arises insidiously, goes unnoticed for a long time and usually shows its consequences exactly when you can least use it.
GoFilter reliably protects your motorboat from diesel pollution.
The fuel cleaning system for motor boats separates water from diesel, removes bacteria and filters pollutants permanently from the tank – automatically, effectively and without chemical additives.
Caution: Water and pollutants in the tank cause Diesel Bug
Diesel Bug is not a myth, but a real danger for every motorboat. If diesel is stored in the tank for a long time, it can "tip over". Its chemical composition changes, deposits, slurries and biological residues are formed.
Typical consequences are:
- loss of engine power
- clogged filters and fuel lines
- bonded injection nozzles
- corrosion on the tank and fuel system
- in the worst case, a complete engine failure
Additives can reduce the risk in the short term, but do not permanently prevent the Diesel Bug. Especially with longer service lives, water and microorganisms spread further.
How is Diesel Bug formed on the motorboat?
Modern diesel has long ceased to consist only of mineral oil. It contains additives, synthetic components and often biodiesel components. In combination with condensed water, which forms in almost every tank, an ideal environment for microorganisms is created.
Bacteria, yeasts and molds multiply at the interface between water and diesel. A slimy film forms:
- diesel bacteria
- biological residues
- decomposition products of fuel additives
The fuel becomes viscous, loses its fluidity and increasingly affects the engine performance. If the problem remains untreated, central components of the fuel system can be permanently damaged – the Diesel Bug has struck.
Separating diesel from water and avoiding bacteria – with GoFilter
You are not powerless against water in the diesel and bacterial growth.
With GoFilter, you have a reliable system on board that continuously cleans diesel – even during longer periods of mooring in the port.
The fuel cleaning system:
- effectively separates water from diesel
- filters bacteria, suspended solids and pollutants
- prevents the reformation of Diesel Bug
- keeps tank, lines and engine clean
The cleaning is done regularly, either automatically or manually, according to your needs.
GoFilter – your reliable fuel cleaning system
The compact and user-friendly GoFilter fuel cleaning system has been specially developed for use on motor boats. High-quality, optimally coordinated components ensure a consistently high fuel quality.
This system:
- is powered by on-board electricity
- can be programmed in a time-controlled manner
- works independently of the driving mode
- requires no modifications to the tank or engine
This way, you permanently ban contaminated diesel from your boat and can rely on an engine that runs reliably when you need it.

FAQ – diesel pollution and diesel cleaning on the motorboat
What is Diesel Bug exactly?
Diesel Bug or microbial contamination of diesel refers to the contamination of diesel by water, bacteria and fungi, which can lead to deposits, loss of performance and engine damage.
Are diesel additives sufficient for prevention?
Additives have only a limited effect and are limited in time. GoFilter permanently removes the cause of water and pollutants.
Does GoFilter also help with longer downtimes?
Yes. Especially with longer lying times, the system prevents the formation of bacteria and Diesel Bug.
Is the system suitable for every motorboat?
GoFilter is configured individually and is suitable for many boat types and tank sizes.
Does the tank need to be rebuilt for installation?
No. The system is integrated into the existing fuel lines and can be easily retrofitted.
