Default Qantas A380 Fuel Fungus?

Channel Ten New last night in Adelaide ran a story about Qantas grounding all their A380's due to fuel fungus giving faulty fuel readings.

Any further news??

Also explains why yesterdays QF93 MEL-LAX that was scheduled as an A380, was operated by 744 VH-OEF and went via SYD as QF11 was cancelled

One of the A380s is currently on its way back from LHR operating QF10 which is due into MEL this evening. (Delayed)

A second A380 will operate the scheduled QF31 Dep from SYD-LHR this afternoon.

And the 3rd A380 is due back in service tomorrow.

The Oneworld alliance carrier confirms in a statement to ATI that all three of its A380s were grounded, two for the same reason and one for a different reason. One is already back in service, another is due back in service later today and the third should go back in service tomorrow.
