Nope, 'fraid not.

This time it was a brand new mix of fuel. Fresh Aeroshell 500 Turbine oil (5%)
And Kero from a fresh drum purchased from Lowes and mixed the friday before the 2nd problem.
I had the same thought about what if something got into the fuel mix and temporarily blocking the fuel flow then giving way causing a surge in fuel and over revving the engine.
This time, with the data I was ablt to download from the ECU it didn't indicate anything out of the ordinary. It was at full throttle at 500 odd degrees then the temp shot to 1000+ (After the engine stopped and the flames poured out) and according to the ECU, the RPM ramped down over 4 or 5 samplings (Not to sure the interval that the ECU saves samples at)

The engine has been sent back to JetCat. I'll keep everyone updated about what they say.

I know that it is a long shot, but was this the same fuel as last time?
Is there any chance that you got the wrong fuel? like 100LL instead of jetA1 or gas instead of kero?
I have seen people get the wrong fuel from an airport.
