i used to work for a large aircraft manufacturer and we had a problem with some Southern operators having sludge in the fuel tanks which was clogging up the fuel filters prematurely and causing a maintenance burden. Research indicated that the algae and certain bacteria grew at the water-fuel interface( the water got into the tanks, which are vented, from high humidity and then condensed as the aircraft climbed to altitude) in the tanks and than regular draining of water could prevent this as could some fuel additive that would kill off the the critters. Never heard anymore about it being a problem after that. If tanks are kept near full, then condesation is less of a problem and the folks who manufacture the fuel may have placed additives in it to disperse water and kill bacteria and algae.
