* - Grade 100LL fuel in some over seas countries is currently colored green and designated as 100L.
** - Commercial fuel grade 100 and grade 100/130 (both of which are colored green) 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 0.15% by volume of the refueled quantity, and to ensure its effectiveness should be blended at not less
than 0.10% by volume. One and one half liquid ozs. 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.
CAUTION
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 can not be used as a substitute for preflight draining of
the fuel system drains.
