o
Add icing inhibitor to diesel and jet fuel
after you fill the tank. Get it with:
o
Drain fuel filters daily, just like
your PMCS says.
o
Refuel with care to keep water or
snow out of the tank.
o
Keep the fuel tank filled to the
FULL mark to stop condensation.
Remember, more is not better! You can
damage the engine if you add more than
one pint of additive to 80 gallons of fuel.
At the least, engine performance suffers.
If you use JP-8 jet fuel, don’t add icing
inhibitor—it’s already in there! Jet A-1
does not have the inhibitor, so treat it just
like diesel fuel.

kating on ice can be graceful and beautiful. Driving on ice is a
different story.
In most cases, your operator’s manual has an NSN for tire chains
in the additional authorization list (AAL). But not every –10 TM has
the info.
Plus, the –10s don’t give you replacement cross-chain and swivel
hook NSNs for the chains. So, here are some common tire sizes and
the right chain info:

Ground Vehicles…
S
lushy snow cones were great
when you were a kid. But any type
of slush in a vehicle’s fuel system is
a different matter.
In cold weather, water in the fuel
system can turn slushy and freeze
up. Then your vehicle won’t start.

Wheeled Vehicles…
If dual tire chains for your size are not listed here, use singles on
the outside tires. Parts are the same for same-size single and dual
chains.
If your vehicle has a tire size not listed here, have your supply clerk
check FSC 2500 for other chains. Authority to order chains comes
from Appendix A of CTA 50-970.
So how do
you make
sure there’s
no water in
your fuel?
