Performance Evaluation of Potential Fuel System Icing Inhibitors in Aviation Jet Fuel Using the US Navy Aircraft Fuel System Icing Simulator
The Naval Air Warfare Center, together with the Air Force's Wright Laboratories, is actively looking for additives which can be used as potential Fuel System Icing Inhibitors (FSII) in military aviation turbine fuels in place of the current standard FSII, Diethylene Glycol Monomethyl Ether (DiE...
