Fire-Safe Fuel: Fuel Properties and System Compatibility Studies

Abstract

In conjunction with the coordinated Fire-Safe Fuel (FSF) Program, a study was conducted to assess the effects of the FSF additive (5% vol. Bromochloromethane) on diesel fuel performance criteria, elastomer compatibility, and potential system corrosion tendencies. Laboratory techniques were employed to define those changes in basic fuel properties/characteristics resulting by additions of the Bromochloromethane. In addition, accelerated tests revealed potential elastomer-fuel incompatibility and corrosion problems occurring from the possible use of FSF.
