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.

Re: XJ eating fuel pumps
Wonder how hard it would be to put a pesticide of sorts into the fuel to
keep this to a minimum...unless that is what you're saying the Biobor is
used for, as a preventative and not a treatment after-the-fact. I'm not
sure about the properties of Jet Fuel. Isn't that like AV-GAS, or does
it have properties similar to diesel?

Re: XJ eating fuel pumps
I worked at an airport,the pilot had to ask for prist. This
eliminates fungus in the fuel at high levels. It is an additive for
planes.
Just wanted to share that to you.

Biobor is a "pesticide" of sorts - it kills fungi dead dead dead. It
is best used as a preventative on a routine basis. It is _only_ for
diesel or jet fuel, or other kerosine-like fuels. There are many other
similar diesel fuel treatments to prevent growth in the tanks.
Fungal growth will NOT appear in gasoline.

I was in error in not pointing out earlier that it is a fungal growth,
not a bacterial growth, that causes the problem.
