I just want to remind that Tunintair had a fuel exhaustion accident while indications were showing adequate fuel on board... Is it really impossible to consider low fuel conditions causing the cavitation in high pitch attitude ?
So you are saying that despite the fact that someone got inside the wing tanks and found a plastic scraper, a piece of tape etc it didn't strike them as odd that there was no fuel in there? You should call the AAIB and point out the mistake they are making.

Re: water/other fuel contamination - there wasn't any. The AAIB report makes fascinating reading. I highly recommend it.
