Basics
- This page aims to lay out the various Specifications for fuels
- This is done for several reasons
- One, using “bad fuel” may take a long time, or certain conditions (Cold (Fuel Gelling), Water/Humidity, Long Storage Times (Sludge Formation, Oxidation, etc) in order to cause a noticeable impact
- Because of this one could THINK a fuel is “good” only for it to be a market failure causing all kinds of bad press later etc
- SECONDLY it aids in Engine and Fuel System Design as you can properly understand things like Material Compatibility Issues for things like Gaskets , O-Rings , and Flexible Hoses
- Finally certain markets such as Aviation, Military, Maratime, and Power Plants have particular standards for your fuel to even be considered to be used
- Being able to compete on various contracts or development projects may be of use for funding etc
