F900 annual costs
Silver oxide “salts” in jet fuel
New to me (2022)
Problem that reduces resistance on fuel probes and wires, resulting in increased ability to make house payments.
I think i have observed this two times.
1 falcon 900ex 2 months following a possible over application of BioBor.
Result was 7 condemned probes in the wings. I could not save any of the 7 probes by slosh/clean/dry/repeat method. Very unusual.

The confirmation came in the Loading Manual drawing , attached to this email.
Could you please change the nose arm to -287.57 on both reports and recalculate.
