Additive Effectiveness Investigations in Alternative Fuels

Abstract

In this program three candidate alternative fuels, FT SPK, HEFA SPK and B20, were subjected accelerated storage, 36 weeks at 43 deg C. This storage was done with the standard military additives, biocide and cetane improver(s). In addition, the samples were inoculated with live culture to assess the biologic impact of long term storage on alternative fuel components.
