Yeah, I found mainstream news reports on it after I posted that. They
seem to be insisting it wasn't waxing, but actual ice in the fuel,
which would be a very rare event. i have had it happen to me using
Avgas. When 100LL came out first it had a habit of keeping water in
suspension. I nearly came to grief, in fact, as did many others. that
problem was solved with 100LL AFAIK, though. When I heard about the
accident first I thought it might have been duff fuel they got in
China, bu tI see no finger pointing in that direction. in some parts
of the world the fuel is still pretty crude, being fairly wide cut.
The engines sem to digest it with no problem, but fire hazards while
fueling are greatly increased by them and I've often wondered if
there are other risks. i have no idea what they refueled with in
China or how carefully the fuel's quality is looked after.
Blah blah blah
Oh do tell, fjukktard.
