Investigations were undertaken for the purpose of developing a 'safe' fuel that will not explode in its stored condition when exposed to a spark, but which will give identical engine performance when used in place of fuels being burned today. The Bell air cushion vehicle engine, a General Electric LM100, was tested on the latest emulsified 'safe' JP-4 fuel. Engine starts and operation were about the same with emulsified JP-4 fuel as with plain JP-4 except that running time was limited on emulsified fuel because of fuel nozzle clogging. Clogging was caused by dirtier-than-normal fuel and by an iron deposit that formed on the fuel nozzles and fuel nozzle screens. (Author)
