F-16 EPU is actually runs on a highly toxic, corrosive and hazardous fuel, '''Hydrazine (H-70 - 70% Hydrazine (N2H4) and 30% water, count by weight)''', F-16 EPU contains ~3000 PSI of Hydrazine fuel, can tun approximately 10 minutes under normal load requirements, tank compartment on the right hand side of the F-16. | F-16 EPU is actually runs on a '''highly toxic''', '''corrosive''' and '''hazardous fuel,''' '''Hydrazine (H-70 - 70% Hydrazine (N2H4) and 30% water, count by weight)''', F-16 EPU contains ~3000 PSI of Hydrazine fuel, can tun approximately 10 minutes under normal load requirements, tank compartment on the right hand side of the F-16. | ||

The reason why F-16 use Hydrazine (H-70) as EPU fuel is because hydrazine can start the EPU to operation condition only in 2 seconds + Very reliable, due to it's highly reactivity characteristic. Which other type of fuel can't do. | |||
