WASHINGTON — Seven aircraft fuel depots in Maine, Rhode Island, New Hampshire and Massachusetts have received contaminated fuel from Exxon, which earlier this week issued a recall in three other East Coast states, the Federal Aviation Administration said.

FAA spokesman Jim Peters said Saturday the contaminated fuel posed no imminent danger to the planes, although some small airports have grounded aircraft that have it in their engines and tanks.

None of the contaminated fuel was sent to Bangor International Airport, reported airport director Bob Ziegelaar. He said Exxon had alerted BIA last week about the fuel.

No contaminated shipments were sent to Northern Maine Regional Airport in Presque Isle either, according to airport manager Gregory Willard. Ziegelaar said it appeared that only southern Maine had received any shipment, but he couldn’t be specific about which facility.

Officials from Exxon said last week they would replace aviation fuel for propeller planes and helicopters at 20 airports in eastern Pennsylvania, Maryland and Delaware.

Meanwhile, the FAA is preparing to distribute instructions to airplane owners next week on how to rid their engines of the contaminated fuel.

The bad fuel has a sulfur compound that can erode copper parts of engines over time, Peters said.

Exxon said the fuel was supplied by its exchange partner, Texaco, out of Pennsauken, N.J. Known as “avgas,” the fuel is used by prop planes and some helicopters, but not jets or turboprops.
