Models CA3, CA15 and CA18 are similar respectively to models CA5, CA17 and CA19 except for the fuel used, carburetor setting and power rating. All engines incorporate a built-in torquemeter. NOTE 5. The takeoff ratings using anti-detonant injection are permissible when the engine is equipped with a P&W water regulator (whose detail settings are suitable for the desired wet ratings) at an additional weight of 13 lb. ADI fluid flow is 9.2 lb. min. in low blower (2400 bhp), 7.9 lb./min. in high blower for the CA17 (2000 hp) and the CA19 (2100 hp); 7.8 lb./min. in high blower (1900 bhp) for the CA18. The ADI fluid may be composed of any one of the following solutions of volume: Methyl Alcohol 50%, water 50% ) Per Pratt & Whitney Methyl Alcohol 60%, water 40$ ) Specification 509 Methyl Alcohol 25%, Ethyl Alcohol 25%, water 50% ) Methyl Alcohol 60 parts, water 40 parts, Anticorrosion oil one part (per British Specification D-Eng. R.D. 2470, dated 1-8-46). NOTE 6. The following ignition systems are eligible: High Tension - Scintilla with one DF-18LN dual magneto, two high tension distributors and harness. - General Electric, with S18RG-PIA combined magneto-distributor units and P18HG-9 harness. Low Tension - Scintilla with one DLN-10 dual magneto, two low-tension distributors, harness, and cylinder head mounted ignition coils. Weight decrease with this system is 10 lb. NOTE 7. These engines are eligible for operation on Grade 91/96 fuel in low blower at the following reduced ratings: HP RPM MP ALTITUDE Maximum continuous 1300 2600 32.5 15,000 Maximum continuous 1300 2600 35.5 S.L. Takeoff 1350 2800 34.0 15,300 Takeoff 1350 2800 37.0 S.L. NOTE 8. Engines having the symbols "NH" following the engine serial numbers have no propeller oil transfer bearing in the nose section making it impossible to utilize a hydraulically controllable propeller. NOTE 9. The following spark plugs are approved on these engines: AC 161, 165, 171, 175, 181, 261, 265, 271, 273, 275, 281. BG 240, 245, 340, 341, 345, 346, RB19R -2, RB21R-1, RB27R, RB27R-1, RB39R.

Engines incorporating the original CA type crankshaft with the heavyweight front damper and lightweight rear damper will be identified by having the suffix "H" added to the engine model designation listed on the nameplate. Example: Double Wasp CA15H. The CB type crankshaft with two lightweight dampers will require no change in the engine model designation for identification of the crankshaft. NOTE 11. The military R2800-97 engine is identical to the Double Wasp CA18 and is eligible for use in certificated aircraft; however, when used civilly the engine name plate should be revised to include the corresponding civil model designation and Type Certificate No. .....END.....
