Design and Field Evaluation of a Fuel Filtration/Additive Unit (FAU)

Abstract

A Fuel Filtration/Additive Unit (FAU) was designed, fabricated, and field tested. The FAU is capable of removing water and particulate debris from vehicle fuel cells and returning the clean fuel to the fuel cell. In addition, the FAU is capable of on-line addition of additives to convert Jet A to JP-8 or treating microbiological growth with a biocide. Fuel filtration, Clean fuel, Particulate debris, Free water, Microbiological growth, Fuel additive.
