Problems of aviation leaded gasoline application on aircraft by K. I. Gryadunov, A. N. Timoshenko, E. U. Starkov

“…From the point of view of aircraft engine operation, it is noted that the TEL combustion products (decomposition) that are not effectively removed from the combustion chamber, enter the oil system in a significant amount, causing fine oil filters clogging. The article notes that even a small content of TEL decomposition products in aviation oils deteriorates dramatically their pumping capacity and leads to complete fine oil filters clogging for few minutes of engine operation, even on fresh oil. …”
