The propensity of aviation turbine fuels to produce deposits in the oil-cooler and filter sections of aircraft fuel systems has been examined using a rig that simulates the fuel system of an aircraft and which employs realistic flow rates. All the fuels examined were found to be thermally stable up to temperatures in excess of those currently attained in engine oil coolers. Comparison with results obtained with the JFTOT indicates that this is not suited for use as a research tool.

The U.S. Navy’s concerns about the thermal stability of aviation fuel stem from a combination of increased performance requirements of engines and potential degradation in fuel quality. The results of recent atomizer fouling tests with hot fuel are presented. These are combined with similar results from Air Force programs and analyzed with respect to the impact on engine performance and reliability.
