BioSok for fuel & oil absorption and remediation in boat bilges
 BIO-SOK® Bilge Maintenance System is an easy-to-use, completely nontoxic and environmentally sound means of capturing and biodegrading the oil and fuel that leaks in a boat bilge and often escapes into marina waters. When you need a way to keep marina waters free of bilge oil and other fuel contaminants, uses BIO-SOK® Bilge Maintenance System.
Placed inside the bilge, the BIO-SOK® begins to absorb the hydrocarbons, it reduces odor, and biodegrades the leaking oil. BioSok will generally last a full boating season under most normal conditions. When BioSok is depleted, you can simply throw away the outside fiber sleeve. There is nothing left to harm the environment.
The BIO-SOK® is safe, clean and keeps working so you don't have to.

The BioSok was purchased for use in a former 44' motor life boat (ex-US Coast guard) now owned and operated by Sea Scout Ship CITY OF ROSES #601, of Portland, OR. The BioSok is still in use. We have been getting excessive amounts of water in the engine room through the port propeller shaft stuffing tube. That has been adjusted and now the amount of water is very small. We had the BioSok in the engine room bilges before this recent adjustment. The BioSok has done a good job of capturing oil in the bilge water, and with the reduction in the amount of engine bilge water that the adjustment to the stuffing tube yields, and BioSok should do even better. We do not pump any bilge water over the side, but rather pump it in to buckets and take it ashore. I would expect that, with our current situation, we will only have to do that a couple of time per season. We are pleased with the reduced oil content in the bilge water that we have off loaded recently, and attribute this to the use of the BioSok.

| Your BioSok has worked very well in my sloop's bilge. I heartily recommend its use. It has minimized odor while keeping a clean bilge. I plan to stick with this product. R. B. McClinton |
