Flight Test Results of the Use of Ethylene Glycol Monomethyl Ether (EGME) as an Anti-Carburetor Icing Fuel Additive

Abstract

Flight test results of Ethylene Glycol Monomethyl Ether (EGME) show that EGME reduces the formation of carburetor ice during cruise power, and that the effectiveness of EGME reduces as the throttle is closed. Based on these results, EGME should not be considered as an anti-carburetor icing fuel additive in lieu of carburetor heat.
