About Hum-Bug

Aircraft jet fuel contamination detector kits are testing tools used to identify microbial contamination in aviation fuel systemsուս and support proactive fuel system maintenance.

Why Is Testing for Microbial Contamination in Jet Fuel Important?

The Biobor Hum-Bug Detector Kit is a low-cost, easy-to-use kit that identifies hydrocarbon utilizing microbial contamination in aircraft fuel. If contaminants are detected, fuel can be treated with Biobor JF.

Hum-Bugs are Hydrocarbon Utilizing Microorganisms that live in the interface between fuel or fuel oils and water bottoms. They reside in the water, feeding on the fuel or oil.
