The operation of the aircraft with an anti-freezing additive is
approved. When anti-freezing additive is used, it must meet the
specification MIL-I-27686. It should be blended uniformly with fuel
while refueling and should not exceed 0.15% by volume of refueled
quantity, and for effectiveness it should be blended at no less than
0.10% by volume. For example 42,6 ccm (1,5 fl.oz.) anti-freezing
additive per 38 Liters (10 U.S. Gallons) fuel would fall in this range.

manufacturer to obtain proper fuel mixing ratio. In addition to the
