fuel system icing inhibitor (FSII) present in fuels, and the hydrometer is used to measure the specific gravity. The equipment in the lab is very good for what it was designed to do. It is also very expensive. The CCFD costs about 00. The closed cup flash-point tester costs about 00. Take care of “your” equipment and it will last a long time. Also, remember the equipment is only as good as the people who use it. We are now going to go step-by-step through the operation and calibration of the equipment used in the Aviation Fuels Lab. First, you should understand that the CCFD is a newer model of the AEL Mk III with an AEL Mk I built in the same case and that the CCFD gives the sediment reading by digital display. The theory and operation of the CCFD are the same as for the individual units. With any of the units, for initial startup or after moving them from one space to another, you MUST allow adequate time for the unit to reach the same temperature as the space in which it is to be used. This is IMPORTANT so any condensation that may form inside the machines  will  not  affect  your  readings. Figure 3-4.—Bottle washer and drying rack. 3-15
