Fouling is a failure mode. by the way all of Failure modes mentioned are, in principle failure causes. Mode is the manner in which part fails...cause is the physical reason why it failed. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 130.233.60.26 (talk) 07:09, 7 July 2009 (UTC)

Fouling is definitely a failure mode, although I assume my lecture notes don't count as a source —Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.188.33.26 (talk) 16:19, 12 August 2009 (UTC)
