Default RE: Symptoms of Algae in your UAT

ORIGINAL: i3dm

if you use an ultra fine filter on the fuel pumping line, will that help avoiding nasty stuff going into your UAT ? or is this algea actually forming inside the UAT ?
The algea forms on the water bottom, so if its in the fuel container it can form there, if the water bottom is in either the UAT or main tank it can form there, as far as I know the algea needs the water bottom to formate and the fuel to feed on.

So double insurance is using a "Mr Funnel" filter and a bacterial inhibitor as Beave suggests, personnaly I just use the filter and empty the fuel from my tanks when I store the jet for any length of time.
