You beat me to it there possel, certainly on the larger a/c types (where I work at least) it is a weekly requirement to carry out fuel drains, primarily for water content but I have been told that is what the bacteria come from and thrive on rather than the fuel itself, it just so happens that jet fuel happens to hold water in suspension plus the inevitable condensation build up.sorry not to be as sensationalist as the first poster....
