CESSNA
MODEL 182S
SECTION 8
HANDLING,
SERVICE & MAINTENANCE
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.
A
WARNING
ANTI-ICING
ADDITIVE
IS
DANGEROUS
TO
I
HEALTH
WHEN
BREATHED AND/OR ABSORBED
INTO THE SKIN.
A
CAUTION
MIXING OF DiEGME WITH FUEL IS EXTREMELY
I
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
BLENDING
EQUIPMENT
THAT
IS
RECOMMENDED BY THE MANUFACTURER
TO
OBTAIN PROPER PROPORTIONING.
Prolonged
storage of
the airplane
will result in
a
water buildup
in
the fuel
which "leeches
out" the
additive.
An indication
of this
is
when
an
excessive amount
of
wate
r
accumulates
in
the
fuel tank
sumps.
The
concentration can be
checked using
a differential
refractometer. It is imperative that the
technical
manual for the
differential refractometer be followed
explicitly
when
checking the
additive concentration.
