Re: Water Contamination

The TSO for fuel icing call for a horrendous amount of suspended moisture, and the screen areas are consequently very large, or heated with recirculated fuel as a result. While it is possible that for some helos with very cold environments and saturated fuel to get a fuel system icing problem, some dissolved water in fuel is no great concern, as long as there is no liquid water pumped in with the fuel.
