[Vwdiesel] fungus in diesel

[Justin and Chelly Bennett]

This is out of the Beech 1900D maintenance manual.

"Microbal or fungal contamination is an increasing threat to fuel 
tanks.  Hormoconis resinae is a virulent acid producing fungus in jet 
fuel.  Unlike typical microbial buildups, Hormoconis resinae will build 
up a matte of fibrous material rapidly in areas of condensation, 
concentrating the acid generating wastes, especially in areas protected 
from fuel sloshing."  "Hormoconis resinae may not be detectable in many 
contamination detector kits available in the United States today.  
Conidia Bio Sciences has developed and markets a ten minute test kit 
specifically designed for Hormoconis resinae.  For more information go 
to www.conidia.com on the web."
