Summary of microbial contamination and associated corrosion in fuels, during storage, distribution and use.

This paper explores microbial contamination and corrosion in fuels during storage, distribution, and use. It discusses how bacteria, yeasts, and moulds grow in water associated with fuels, causing equipment malfunctions and corrosion. The study highlights the importance of early detection and control methods, such as biocides and on-site tests, to manage these issues effectively.
