The reason, which became apparent a couple weeks ago, is kind of strange. Apparently the wrong fuel was used to run some tests on the fuel system itself, and that has led to some delays to replace damaged parts.
The wrong fuel? Really? How does a tester NOT know what kind of fuel the aircraft burns, and why would he or she use anything else? I'm sure there is a logical explanation, but... Really?
