Guppy, this is the UK AIP. If you are studying for CPL/ATPL exams, this is one of the sources of knowledge. If it's in here, is HAS to be correct.
Thanks for the reference. That's good to know, because I can't find anything in that reference that suggests what the original poster suggested. There is nothing which suggests or stipulates "that icing in the intake duct cannot, or does not, occur with fuel injection sysytems."

At that web site, the paper entitled "Induction System Icing on Piston Engines as Fitted to Aeroplanes, Helicopters and Airships" (http://www.nats-uk.ead-it.com/aip/cu...9_P_077_en.pdf) makes no mention of the notion that icing in the intake duct cannot or does not occur with fuel injection systems. The paper does cover the topics I previously described. Perhaps some will find it long-winded and useless too, though the original poster sees it as the center of the information universe. Seems he's hit a bit of an impasse.

Induction ice occurs in various forms.
