A summary of the current grades as well as the previous fuel designa-
tions is shown in the following chart:
Previous Commercial
Fuel Grades (ASTM-D910)
Max. TEL
Grade Color ml/U.S. gal
80/87 red
91/96 blue
100/130 green
115/145 purple
* -Grade 100LL fuel in some overseas countries is currently colored green and designated as "100L".
** -Commercial fuel grade 100 and grade 100/130 having TEL content of up to 4 ml/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 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 .15% by volume of the refueled quantity, and to ensure its
effectiveness should be blended at not less than .10% by volume. One and
one half liquid ozs. per ten gallons 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.
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 tanks.
Some fuels have anti-icing additives pre- blended
in the fuel at the refinery, so no further blending
should be performed.
Fuel additive cannot be used as a substitute for
preflight draining of the fuel system drains.
