Abstract
RECENT testing has involved the fuel modifier ‘Avgard’ developed by ICI Paints Division which is designed to suppress post crash fuel fires by preventing aviation kerosene from misting. Aircraft fuel escaping from ruptured tanks after an impact forms a fine mist which is easily ignited but this misting does not occur when the fuel is treated with Avgard.
