There are various additives for this. We have this problem with fuel for our jets, which is about the same as diesel fuel. Put the additive in while fueling and the critters do not grow.

Have seen this crap while doing maintenance on planes years ago. Its a slimy green stuff, small critters that can grow in your fuel tank on a diesel.
