← TechnologyWhich risk increases when water condenses extensively within an aircraft's fuel tanks?
A)Microbial growth leading to fuel filter clogging✓
B)Thermal runaway from ice crystal friction
C)Increased fuel octane rating and engine knock
D)Rupture of fuel tank from accelerated corrosion
💡 Explanation
When water condenses in aircraft fuel tanks, microbial growth occurs because the water provides a medium for microorganisms, fostering the growth of biofilms and biomass that clog fuel filters. Therefore, microbial growth and filter clogging is the result rather than runaway, octane increase or rupture, requiring unrelated mechanisms.
