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
- 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
Specifications
General
- Flash Point + Freezing Point
- Vapor Pressure
- Specific Energy (Both per liter and per kg)
- PH
- Material Compatibility
- Oxidative Stability
- Viscosity (At STP )
- Fuel Lubricity / Lubricity
- Ash Content
- Likeliness to form a Varnish/Sludge
- Related to Oxidative Stability as well as Cloud Point if i remember correctly (Re: Oil Winterization / Degumming )
Relevant to [[Spark Ignition Engines
- Fuel Octane Rating
- Top Tier Rated Gasoline
- White Gas / Camp Fuel (The LACK OF additives to an extent is core to the functionality of this)
