Jim -
I wrote an article on winter operation that was published in the Dec
1986 issue of Sport Aviation. In it I posted a chart of the approx
max dissolved water in PPM in aromatics and non-aromatic fuels. It
was based on some sketchy data I got from Amoco.
The amount of dissolved water increases with temperature. The point
that I was trying to make in the article was that severe chilling will
cause some of the water to precipitate out of solution as snow, which
can quickly and effectively clog the fuel screens.
It happened to me.
