Evaluation of Synthetic Fuel for Army Ground Applications: Tasks 2-6

Abstract

A series of investigations were conducted to determine the effects of using synthetic fuel (S-8) in Army ground vehicles and equipment. Issues addressed included: fuel system elastomer identity and compatibility with synthetic fuel, cold starting performance of S-8 in a 6.5L diesel engine (HMMWV), and determination of S-8 and S-8/JP-8 blend fuel properties.
