FUEL

FUEL ADDITIVES
Alcohol, if used, is to be blended with the fuel in a concentration of 1%
by volume. Concentrations greater than 1% are not recommended
since they can be detrimental to fuel tank materials.
The manner in which the alcohol is added to the fuel is significant
because alcohol is most effective when it is completely dissolved in the
fuel. To ensure proper mixing, the following is recommended:
1. For best results, the alcohol should be added during the fueling
operation by pouring the alcohol directly on the fuel stream
issuing from the fueling nozzle.
2. An alternate method that may be used is to premix the complete
alcohol dosage with some fuel in a separate clean container
(approximately 2-3 gallon capacity) and then transferring this
mixture to the tank prior to the fuel operation.
Diethylene Glycol Monomethyl Ether (DiEGME) compound must be
carefully mixed with the fuel in concentrations between 0.10%
(minimum) and 0.15% (maximum) of total fuel volume. Refer to Figure
8-1 for a DiEGME-to-fuel mixing chart.
ANTI-ICING ADDITIVE IS DANGEROUS TO HEALTH
WHEN BREATHED AND/OR ABSORBED INTO THE
SKIN.
MIXING OF DIEGME WITH FUEL IS EXTREMELY
IMPORTANT. A CONCENTRATION IN EXCESS OF THAT
RECOMMENDED (0.15% BY VOLUME MAXIMUM) MAY
RESULT IN DETRIMENTAL EFFECTS TO THE FUEL
TANK AND SEALANT, AND DAMAGE TO O-RINGS AND
SEALS USED IN THE FUEL SYSTEM AND ENGINE
COMPONENTS. A CONCENTRATION OF LESS THAN
THAT RECOMMENDED (0.10% BY TOTAL VOLUME
MINIMUM) WILL RESULT IN INEFFECTIVE TREATMENT.
USE ONLY
RECOMMENDED BY THE MANUFACTURER TO OBTAIN
PROPER PROPORTIONING.
