Service Test of Two Fuel Conductivity Additives.

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 Company's ASA-3 and E.I. duPont de Nemours and Company's 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 pS/m. The minimum and maximum fuel conductivity limits for servicing to aircraft was 100 to 700 pS/m. The effects of the additives on the air base fuel systems, filter separator elements, and on aircraft were monitored. (Author)
