bsieker says (re May 12 report )
- Flow stayed low after FMV was fully open (refuting "low-energy fuel" and "foaming fuel" theories)
How does that follow? If fuel were foaming per earlier comments, measured flow would remain low, fuel energy would remain low, and a quick reversal of that condition would not be possible because foam encapsulated vapours would occupy some fair portion of the volume of the flow path, preventing immediate inflow of fuel, even if it were available (given that the foaming would have been caused or initiated by a blockage of some sort to begin with in the tank-HP pump path, and that blockage might well have continued) .

Please explain the logic of your dismissive comment.
