Bacteria in diesel fuel is kind of interesting - they don't actually
live _in_ the diesel fuel, they live in the water droplets and feed on
the surrounding hydrocarbons. If you drain your diesel tank of water
religiously, keep the filters fresh, and use Biobor or similar
anti-microbial treatment, you will never have a single bit of trouble.
Ignore those factors and you risk plugged filters and a really nasty
growth throughout the entire fuel system.
I have scrubbed out more than a few aircraft (jet fuel) fuel cells
that were full of yucky black growth - it ain't fun!

Re: XJ eating fuel pumps
Hmmm..OP, do you buy ethanol blends when you buy gas? Because ethanol (alcohol)
will absorb moisture, and it would not be a stretch to hypothesize that this
might be your problem.

Dirt is the biggest killer of fuel pumps. Then again, it may not even be a
problem with the pump it's self. Either way, somebody needs to let the guy
working on it know the history on it. They need to spend a little more time and
find out what's really going on.
