Fueling Deicing

Gefrierpunkt des Kraftstoffs

The lowest temperature at which aviation fuel can remain fluid. If fuel cools below this point, it begins to solidify and can block filters and lines, causing engine failure.

Quick answer: The lowest temperature at which aviation fuel can remain fluid. If fuel cools below this point, it begins to solidify and can block filters and lines, causing engine failure.
