Adding anti icing additive to fuel ?

[belowradar]

I would appreciate some guidance from those pilots with experience of adding prist or similar additive to fuel on a single turbine.

The additive needs to be added via aerosol whilst refuelling however that is not very practical. What is the real world way to add prist or similar additive and how do you know if you have enough.

I am wondering if it can be added in one hit prior to topping up the tanks also if the fuel drains a brown colour does that mean too much ? can't remember !

Any practical guidance much appreciated !

Sadly, however impractical it is what you have to do.
Many an hour spent in the cold/rain holding down the button on the cans - around 30% don't work either.
Also it's always a pilot who ends up doing it since in most parts of the world the refuellers are not allowed to touch the stuff - too toxic:eek:
Unless you're really lucky and have access to a pre-blended supply, but they're pretty rare.

Oh Dear no escape then

Thanks very much for your advice

Most refuelers in the USA for business jets already offer a blended fuel.
How come in Europe/UK this isn't done?:rolleyes:
Or, if the pre-blended fuel is not available, automatic dispensers are....IE: no standing in the rain holding down the button for most folks.

Do be serious, we still offer hay for your horse on arrival, doing something sensible like adding it at source is far to technical for us Brits ;) .......

Military fuel has it in, some grades you will see FSII after the grade and that stands for Fuel System Icing Inhibitor
