← TechnologyWhich consequence results when high paraffin content jet fuel, near freezing point, compromises an aircraft?
A)Fuel pump cavitation increases rapidly
B)Flameout risk increases significantly✓
C)Engine vibration will lessen abruptly
D)Maximum thrust gradually gets limited
💡 Explanation
Icing within fuel lines causes engine flameout because wax crystal precipitation hinders *fuel flow*, therefore cutting off fuel supply, specifically because high-paraffin fuel composition has higher freezing points, rather than a pump cavitation resulting from vapor pressure.
