Microbial growth in aviation fuel

Author:

Hill Ted

Abstract

Growth of microorganisms in petroleum products has been recorded since 1895, causing fouling, malfunction and corrosion in storage tanks, airfield equipment, pipelines, airframes and engines. This paper considers the problems that fuel microbes pose to the aviation industry and discusses the International Air Transport Association Aviation Working Group's “Guidance Material on Microbiological Contamination in Aircraft Fuel Tanks”.
