Systems and methods of handling fluids used in ground deicing and anti-icing of airplanes are provided. The disclosed systems/methods are particularly advantageous in delivering non-Newtonian fluids used in anti-icing applications. Maintaining the viscosity of non-Newtonian fluids used in deicing of airplanes within strict limits is of paramount importance for the safe take off/operation of the airplane. The disclosed systems/methods help maintain the viscosity within desired ranges by eliminating two main factors that lead to viscosity deterioration, namely, pumping and high shear stress in piping.
