From Air BP:
Jet Fuel No 3 (formerly known as Grade RP-3) – is similar to Jet A-1 and is the
grade supplied at all civil airports in mainland China.
From Exxon Mobil:
Footnote to TS-1
(2) Temperature for start of crystallisation. TS-1 fuels with freezing point not above -50°C intended for use in all climatic zones except zone 11 (GOST16350-80).In zone 11 TS-1 fuel with freezing point above -50°C may be used when ground temperature is below - 30°C for 24 hours before take-off. TS-1 fuel with freezing point not above -60°C intended for use in zone 11 shall be produced as required by the consumers. (3) In case of dispute, the heat of combustion shall be determined by GOST 21
Fuel System Icing Inhibitors (FSII)
Water dissolved in fuel can come out of solution at low temperatures in the form of very fine droplets. Although the amounts are small, the droplets formed can freeze at altitude and cause filter plugging. Fuel system icing inhibitors have been developed to protect the system from this problem. The most widely used additive is diethylene glycol monomethyl ether (DiEGME). The use of FSII is required in UK and US military jet kerosine and although optional in many civilian specifications is very seldom used.
