Icing due to water

Icing due to water in fuel
Water in fuel will accumulate at the lower parts of the fuel system
and leads to freezing of fuel lines, filters or jets.
Remedy - Use non-contaminated fuel (filtered through suede)
- Generously sized water separators
- Fuel lines routing inclined
- Prevent condensation of humidity, i. e avoid temperature dif-
ferences between aircraft and fuel.
