' " - Grade 1001.1. fucl in some overseas countries is currently colored green and designated as '" OOL."
"""- Commercial fucl grade 100 and grade 100/130 (both of which arc colored green) having TEL
content of up to 4 mil U.S. gallon are approved for use in all engines certificated for use with
grade 100/130 fuel.
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-I-27686. must be uniformly blended with
the fuel while refueling. must not exceed .15o/f by volume of the refueled quantity. and to ensure its
effectiveness should be blended at not less than .lOo/f by volume. One and one halfliquid
075.
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.
CAUTIONS
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.
Some fuels have anti-icing additives preblended in the
fuel at the refinery, so no further blending should be
performed.
