FAA Issues Jet Fuel Biocide SAIB
After several engine incidents traced to the sometimes improper use of jet fuel biocides, the FAA has issued an SAIB regarding their usage.

The FAA has issued a Special Airworthiness Information Bulletin (SAIB) cautioning about the use of aviation fuel biocides such as Kathon FP1.5 and Biobor JF. They are used to eliminate microbiological contamination in aircraft fuel tanks, and in engines and aircraft where they are approved, the OEM’s Aircraft Maintenance Manual will include the correct method of application and dosage.
