Identify a fuel-eating fungus/bug?

[Geoff Crawford]

RE:  Fungus at the diesel/water interface.

It was most likely Cladosporium resinae - the kerosine fungus.  This fellow is a real problem in aviation turbine fuel (basically kerosine) and msut be filtered out of stored aviation fuel.

Hope this helps.
