NOTE
B&B 3100 (MIL-C-85704, Type I) is the
primary cleaner for Army turbine
engines and remains an approved
cleaner
for
locales
where
environmental
restrictions
permit.
Engine cleaners that conform to MIL-
C-85704, Type II and Type IIA are also
acceptable engine cleaners and meet
EPA
environmental
requirements.
Continue use of B&B 3100 where not
restricted. Where restrictions apply
use MIL-C-85704, Type II and Type IIA
cleaners. Approved Type II and Type
HA
cleaners
shall
be
used
in
accordance with the existing wash-
ing procedure. Type HA cleaners do
not require dilution with water. Both
types of cleaners are less effective
than Type I cleaners. Thereforemore
frequent engine washes may be re-
quired to achieve satisfactory results.
