Summary 1. The additive ethyl cellosolve, which is used to prevent ice crystal formation in T-1 (kerosene type)jet fuels, can also be used for this purpose in heavy fuels of the T-5 type. 2. Difficulties arise in the filtration of jet fuels through aircraft filters when the viscosity increases to 250–280 cs. 3. Difficulties in pumping jet fuels having viscosities velow 250–280 cs are mainly attributable not to viscosity, but to precipitation of ice or high-melting hydrocarbon crystals from the fuel. 4. The appearance of anomalous viscosity, which is characteristic for lube oil fractions and diesel fuels, is also noted in high molecular weight jet fuels of the T-5 type.
