Biodiesel Fuels: The Use of Soy Oil as a Blending Stock for Middle Distillate Petroleum Fuels

摘要: Fuels for military applications have more severe restrictions than the usual commercial consumer. One of most stringent and difficult requirements to meet is that fuel storage stability. Storage instability defined in terms solids formation which can plug nozzles filters. Materials added as blending stocks must be chemically stable not induce it added. In present research, a soybean-derived was concentrations up 20% both unstable petroleum middle distillate fuels. The stability mixture tested by ASTM 5304. soy−fuel mixtures proved reduced significantly.
