It is highly undesirable to permit the growth of micro-organisms in aircraft fuel-systems/fuel-tank areas. However, the ubiquitous nature of the principal contaminant, Hormoconis resinae, and the virtual impossibility of maintaining the fuel in a sterile condition throughout transport from the refinery to the aircraft, are the basic reasons for the recurrence of contamination once all the conditions conducive to microbial growth have been fulfilled.
