Journal ArticleDOI
Soybean biodiesel : Instability reactions
TL;DR: In this article, the United States Navy shipboard fuel tanks compensate for diminishing fuel by the addition of seawater to the fuel tank, which can lead to fuel instability problems such as filter stoppage and other serious engine damage.
Journal ArticleDOI
Recycled Soybean Derived Cooking Oils as Blending Stocks for Middle Distillate Transportation Fuels
TL;DR: In this article, the use of recycled soybean derived fuel liquids was reported, which was derived from recycled restaurant cooking oil with no added antioxidant after reprocessing and compared with stable and unstable middle distillate fuels for storage stability, oxidative stability, solubility, and chemical instability results.
Journal ArticleDOI
Analytical Profile of a Fischer-Tropsch Diesel Fuel and Storage Stability of Fuel Blends
TL;DR: Synthetic middle distillate fuels produced by a Fischer-Tropsch process are one of the many long-term alternatives to petroleum-derived fuels that are under active consideration as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Petroleum-Based Hydraulic Fluids and Flammability
TL;DR: In this article, some petroleum-based hydraulic fluids have been observed to be a fire safety hazard in situations where high-pressure leaks can result in aerosol formation, and these fire hazards cannot be adequately explained based solely on flash point considerations of the hydraulic fluids alone.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used three heterogeneous catalyst systems and combinations of these systems as filtering media to remove polar organic nitrogen functional groups from middle distillate fuel during the refining process.
