Service Test of Two Fuel Conductivity Additives.

reportActive / Technical Report | Accession Number: ADA088046 | Open PDF

Abstract:

A service test of two fuel conductivity anti-static additives was conducted from April 1977 to May 1979 at eight Air Force bases. Since bases have continued to use the additive, a portion of the data reported herein extends to January 1980. The two candidate fuel additives were Shell Chemical Companys ASA-3 and E.I. duPont de Nemours and Companys Stadis 450. The additives were injected into the JP-4 aviation turbine fuel at either the refinery or terminal supporting the base. The conductivity of the JP-4 delivered to the service test base was to be maintained between 200 and 600 pSm. The minimum and maximum fuel conductivity limits for servicing to aircraft was 100 to 700 pSm. The effects of the additives on the air base fuel systems, filter separator elements, and on aircraft were monitored. Author
