Middle Distillate Fuel Stability Characteristics - A Review.

Abstract

Middle distillate fuel stability is of prime concern when long-term storage is necessary. Extensive work has bee undertaken over the past half century in an attempt to establish the true chemical mechanism by which this degradation takes place. This review was undertaken as part of a basic research program having as its goal the definition of fuel deterioration and additive-inhibition mechanisms. It is intended to report some of the more pertainent highlights so that the reader may obtain an overview of the current state-of-the-art in fuel stability research. An annotated bibliography has also been included more in-depth information may be readily obtained. (Author)
