| Can you tell us more about your fuel contamination with the 912's ? 

I would like to avoid that if possible in my 912.

Mike B:



Yep.  I put contaminated fuel in my tank from an unreliable source. 

Both times I considered them reliable sources, but had a rude 

awakening.  First time was a considerable amount of water.  Second 

time was tiny nylon fibers from a brand new fuel pump that had not 

been flushed before selling fuel.  Guess what, I flushed the system 

for them by buying the first 10 gal of gas.  The fibers overpowered my 

fuel filter.



Both cases could have been prevented had I done a fuel sample after 

refueling.  My fault entirely.



John W has taught me to get fuel out of airport fuel systems, 

primarily, while on long cross country flights.  Not worth saving a 

dollar to lose an engine and break an airplane or worse, me.
