In yet another set back for the F-35, it can't fly if the fuel is too warm. As a short term fix they have decided to !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! while searching for a more permanent solution. From what I get out of the article this only applies to the F-35B STOVL variant, but it may affect all F-35's. This has serious implications for forward deployment of the F-35B as having a fleet of bright white painted fuel trucks in a war zone has obvious drawbacks.

And 80s turbo F1 cars couldn't run on cold fuel. And by cold I mean room temperature. Some fuels were solid at room temperature.
