: Bertie the Bunyip schrieb: 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. Bertie |
