Thank you all. I should have given a tighter specification. I am looking for examples of intake duct icing in classic carb ice conditions, but without the carb, that is in fuel injected engines at OATs above zero and in high humidity.

The reason for this is that teaching in the schools seems to be edging from a literal acceptance of the statement that fuel injected engines do not suffer from carb icing to an assumption that intake icing is not a hazard in what would be carb icing conditions and I don't have much real world data about probabilities
