I always heard corporate pilots saying "with prist" on some fuel orders. I know little about it -- does it get mixed into the airport fuel supplies at places like Beijing and the rest of the world's airline hubs?
At my FBO we use DICE (yet we still call it PRIST, which is just another trade name... I think the military calls it "FIZZY"... but I digress...). It is stored in bottles on our fuel trucks, and we inject it into the fuel when requested at a ratio of around 1 gallon of Prist/1,000 gallons of Jet-A. I believe fuel can be delivered to the airport premixed as well, but we don't do that here. I'll see if I can take some pictures of it and post them later.
