2. Microbial contamination of diesel fuel - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microbial_contamination_of...

   Water can get into diesel fuel as a result of condensation, rainwater penetration or adsorption from the air — modern biodiesel is especially hygroscopic. The presence of water then encourages microbial growth which either occurs at the interface between the oil and water or on the tank walls, depending on whether the microbes need oxygen.

3. Fuel polishing - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fuel_polishing

   Fuel polishing is the technical cleaning process used to remove or filter microbial contamination from oil and hydrocarbon fuel in storage. It is essentially the removal of water, sediment and microbial contamination from such fuels as diesel , red diesel and biodiesel .

4. Micro carbon residue - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Micro_Carbon_Residue

   For burner fuel, MCR provides an approximation of the tendency of the fuel to form deposits in vaporizing pot-type and sleeve-type burners. [5] For diesel fuel, MCR correlates approximately with combustion chamber deposits, provided that alkyl nitrates are absent, or if present, that the test is performed on the base fuel without additive. [5] [6]

5. Dip slide - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dip_slide

   The dip slide test consists of a sterile culture medium on a plastic carrier that is dipped into the liquid to be sampled. [3] The culture is then incubated, allowing for microbial growth. [2] Most Dip slides consist of 1 - 2 agars attached to a flexible plastic paddle, this allows full contact of the agar onto the desired area for testing. [4]

6. Conradson carbon residue - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conradson_Carbon_Residue

   For burner fuel, Concarbon provides an approximation of the tendency of the fuel to form deposits in vaporizing pot-type and sleeve-type burners. [ 4 ] For diesel fuel , Concarbon correlates approximately with combustion chamber deposits, provided that alkyl nitrates are absent, or if present, that the test is performed on the base fuel without ...

7. Fuel system icing inhibitor - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fuel_System_Icing_Inhibitor

   Fuel system icing inhibitor (FSII) is an additive to aviation fuels that prevents the formation of ice in fuel lines. FSII is sometimes referred to by the registered, genericized trademark Prist. Jet fuel can contain a small amount of dissolved water that does not appear in droplet form. As an aircraft gains altitude, the temperature drops and ...
