USAAF - ETO fuel question - Luftwaffe and Allied Air Forces Discussion Forum

In mid 1944, the 8th AF began using 100/150 fuel.

I have been told that 100/150 fuel could not be used unless there was a Spec number.

Does anyone know the Spec number for 100/150 fuel?

There is quite a history here with many linked documents. The fuel seems to referred to 44-1.

In the Supplemental Documentation at the end there are even the full test specifications.
