Nonmetals Test and Evaluation. Delivery Order 0003: Fuel System Materials Compatibility Testing of Fuel Additives for Reducing the Amount of Small Particulate in Turbine Engine Exhaust

Abstract

Environmental legislation is being drafted by the EPA to reduce small particles in turbine engine exhaust. Six of the most promising fuel additives were chosen for a comparative evaluation as to the material compatibility with the non-metallic materials present on aircraft. These additives were added to JP-8+100 fuel prior to testing. In general, all results showed no significant concerns with the materials tested.
