A Preliminary Report on the Storage Characteristics and Stability of Safety Fuels

Abstract

This study is undertaken to examine the stability characteristics of several typical safety fuels now available commercially or potentially available in commercial quantities should a demand for the marise. In this report are given the characteristics of such fuels as are now in storage at this Laboratory and represent the characteristics of these fuels as received from the manufacturer or vendor, and as of January,1941. They are being subjected to long time storage in containers of various metals in contact with salt water, or dry. From time to time, these fuels will be examined for changes in original characteristics in order to determine the degree of deterioration during storage.
