Technology

Which 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.
