The biggest problem is presented by a  filamentous fungus called Hormoconis resinae, (H Res). Previously called  Cladosporium resinae, and more commonly referred to as “Jet Fuel  Fungus”.\u003cbr\u003e H Res is a fungus that thrives in aviation fuel. It requires only a  minimal amount of water content in the fuel to grow and will cause  filter blockages, gauging errors and tank corrosion if left unchecked.  Bacteria and other types of fungi, particularly some yeasts can also  cause problems in fuel tanks, usually acting as a consortium.\u003cbr\u003e The objective of the test is to provide rapid screening of fuel samples  (water in fuel or fuel), giving a quick and accurate assessment of H  Res, bacteria \u0026amp; other fungi including yeasts in the fuel tank. This  test is unlike current growth-based tests, which require a minimum of 72  hours to provide any results. The test measures the amount of active  growth in the sample and provides actions and alert levels.\u003cbr\u003e The FUELSTAT® resinae PLUS test measures the amount of different types  of contamination: H Res, bacteria and fungi actively growing in the  sample and reports that as the weight of material in the sample. This is  a newer, more accurate measurement system than the old Colony Forming  Unit (CFU) count.\u003cbr\u003e The test provides results based on a traffic light scenario: \u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNegligible (green) – negligible contamination \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLow Positive (amber) – moderate contamination \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh Positive (red) – heavy contamination\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e “IATA Strongly recommends testing of each aircraft fuel tank for microbiological contamination at least once a year.”\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h6\u003e","brand":"FUELSTAT","offers":[{"title":"Decalin FUELSTAT Fuel Testing Kit","offer_id":46190586331394,"sku":"FS-FUELTESTKIT","price":169.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0758\/7364\/8898\/files\/1313662__63637.jpg?v=1749069280","url":"https:\/\/rocketairshop.com\/products\/decalin-fuelstat-fuel-testing-kit","provider":"Rocket Air","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
