Question: 1 / 1030

Can an aircraft fuel heater be used to thaw ice in the fuel screen?

Yes, it is designed for that purpose

No, it cannot be used for that purpose

An aircraft fuel heater is specifically designed to heat the fuel in order to prevent icing in the fuel lines and tanks. It is not designed to thaw ice that has already formed in the fuel screen. Using the fuel heater for this purpose could potentially damage the heater and compromise its function. Emergency situations may warrant using the fuel heater in this manner, but it is not standard practice. Special modifications may theoretically allow the fuel heater to thaw ice in the fuel screen, but it is not a recommended or approved method.
