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.
Fuels containing alcohol always carry a small
amount of water in solution. In case of tem-
perature changes or increase of alcohol con-
tent, water or a mixture of alcohol and water
may settle and could cause troubles.
