The invention relates to a composition for use in preserving hydrocarbon products such as aviation and marine fuel oils. The composition is based on an organic biocide containing carbon, hydrogen and oxygen only or a mixture of two or more such biocides, and at least one hydroperoxide of the formula: <CHEM> wherein R is an aliphatic or aromatic hydrocarbon group, optionally together with a carrier solvent which is compatible with the product to be preserved. Also, in the case of compositions for use in preserving marine fuel oils, they may include a small amount (usually less than 0.1% by weight) of a biocide containing nitrogen and/or sulphur in addition to said hydroperoxide and said organic biocide containing carbon, hydrogen and oxygen only. |
