The U.S. Navy’s concerns about the thermal stability of aviation fuel stem from a combination of increased performance requirements of engines and potential degradation in fuel quality. The results of recent atomizer fouling tests with hot fuel are presented. These are combined with similar results from Air Force programs and analyzed with respect to the impact on engine performance and reliability.
