Fuel contamination categories
Chemical and material
Types of chemical contamination
Inadvertent mixing of two or more hydrocarbon fuels or contact of another chemical with fuel
Biological contamination-maintenance procedures are inadequate or fuels installations are of interior design
Things to note with chemical contamination of fuel
Affects the chemical and physical properties of the fuel and is generally detected by laboratory testing
Prevented by isolating fuels, providing seperate handling systems and housekeeping procedures
Things to note with biological contamination of fuel
May causefuel to become corrosive with subsequent deterioration to fuel sys.
Controlled by Base fuel quality control personel with careful sampling
Material contamination consists usually of what
Water, emulsions and sediments
