Feeling I had, you'd turn up to a discussion on Prist, Moutrie Tom.

Was going to mention your extensive research - but I judged you'd arrive to tell us yourself!

The C25A AFN contains a statement from Cessna that DIEGME additive (e.g. PRIST) has provided acceptable protection from bacterial growth in fuel systems.


I have no idea whether the manufacturers are aware of Cessna's position on this - but I suspect that they probably are.

Edit

I just checked the PRIST website myself and of course they do acknowledge that their product has these properties - they just point out that the certification process is uneconomical so they haven't completed it.
