A summary of the current grades as well as the previous fuel
designations is shown in the following chart:
The operation of the aircraft is approved with an anti-icing
additive in the fuel. When an anti-icing additive is used it must meet
the specification MIL-l-27686, must be uniformly blended with the
fuel while refueling, must not exceed .15% by volume of the refueled
quantity, and to ensure its effectiveness should be blended at not less
than .10% by volume. One and one half liquid ozs. per ten gallon of
fuel would fall within this range. A blender supplied by the additive
manufacturer should be used. Except for the information contained in
this section, the manufacturer’s mixing or blending instructions
should be carefully followed.
CAUTION
Assure that the additive is directed into the
flowing fuel stream. The additive flow should
start after and stop before the fuel flow. Do not
permit the concentrated additive to come in
contact with the aircraft painted surfaces or the
interior surfaces of the fuel tanks.
