Anyone had fuel tank air vent icing up?
Vents are not installed in the direct impact slipstream, so
ice is not usually a problem in a well designed system. "Peter" wrote in message ... | Is there any known case of the above happening, on an aircraft flying | below say FL200? | | On a known-ice aircraft, the vents are normally heated. | | One reads a fair number of stories of pilots picking up a huge amount | of ice (inches) but not (that I have seen) of engine failures caused | by vacuum in the tanks.
