INVESTIGATING THE ELASTOMER ENVIRONMENTAL EFFECTS ON THE STORAGE STABILITY OF MILITARY FUELS.
Abstract
The elastomer environmental effects of collapsible fuel containers on the product quality of military fuels was evaluated under conditions of static storage testing. Collapsible 500-gallon fuel drums were evaluated using six fuels common to military fuel supply systems. To permit a meaningful assessment of the extent and origin of fuel degradation, control containers were concurrently evaluated to account for naturally-occurring auto-oxidation of the fuels under test. Using specification limits as fail criteria, four of the six fuel types under test gave evidence of contamination resulting to elastomer-fuel interactions. (Author)
