Loaded Question
Will
I couldnt possibly comment except to say that its a contaminant, nothing more, and it arises from the tendency of the product to stick to the sides of the pipeline and contaminate other products. Its called tailing. You have to have multiproduct pipelines because you simply cannot have dedicated lines for every product... or that was the thinking until now.
I am seeing a lot of activity to devise safeguards against this, but that wasnt the point of my post, which was to look possible relevance to BA 038. The thing that has always puzzled me is that, while within the normal Jet A-1 spec (-47 C), the FP of the fuel when analysed was actually much less than typical RP-3 which I understood to be in the minus fifties. I was trying to work out whether this is consistent with FAME contamination. I havent reached a conclusion.
