FAQ HOME
Can I use the MicrobMonitor2 test for all kinds of fuel?
Should I always test water if I find it in my fuel sample?
One other type of test detects only the mould Hormoconis resinae. Are other kinds of microbe important?
How often should I test?
Is the MicrobMonitor test the only microbiological test I need?
What is the best way to break up the gel?
When I use the test a pink/peach colour develops in all of the gel. Is this microbial growth?
I sometimes see red patches or streaks in the test. How do I interpret this?
Are the limit values for different levels of microbial contamination regulatory or standardised?
If I use a biocide in my fuel, will the MicrobMonitor2 test detect survivors?
I have found ‘moderate’ or ‘heavy’ microbial contamination according to the IATA ‘Guidance Material’ limit values. When I enter the tank I find little evidence of microbial growth. Are the limit values wrong or am I interpreting the results wrongly?
When I test both water and fuel phases from an aircraft or fuel storage tank I sometimes find that the fuel is heavily contaminated but the water is clean. How do I interpret this?
