  • hydrocarbon jet fuels are known to be subject to deterioration when in contact with oxygen, either on standing in air or during pre-combustion heating. Such deterioration is thought to be due to the presence in the fuel of constituents which undergo oxidative changes resulting in the formation of non-volatile resinous substances.
  • the high temperatures and oxygen-rich atmospheres in aircraft and engine fuel system components encourage the degradation of the fuel resulting in particulate and deposit formation.
  • the resinous substances and other deposits plug up the components leading to operational problems including reduced thrust and performance anomalies in the augmentor, poor spray patterns and premature failure of mainbumer combustors and problems with fuel controls. Further, the engine exhaust becomes smoky and sooty and engine noise increases, both of which are undesirable characteristics for jet engines.
