1. Expressed in milligrams per kilogram or parts per million; metals, like vanadium, nickel, iron, sodium; also, calcium, zinc and phosphorous, which are indicators of used lube oil in the fuel, which may increase the particulate emission and the risk of exhaust gasway fouling.
A. water
2. It is expressed in square millimetres per second (or Centistokes) at a stated temperature; it is a measure of a fuel’s resistance to flow.
B. sediment
3. It is expressed as per cent by volume; it may cause corrosion in the fuel system.
C. flash point
4. It is expressed in degrees centigrade; it must be known for safe transport and storage
D. cat fines
5. It contributes to air pollution; its compounds may corrode cylinder liners and piston rings.
E. elements
6. It consists of hydrocarbon sludge and is contained in all fuels; it is a parameter (Total sediment potential) that is used to indicate and assess the stability and cleanliness of a fuel.
F. pour point
7. Small particles of the catalyst (aluminium and silica oxides) used in the refi ning process and carried over into the residual fuel; they are porous, extremely hard, of irregular shape and abrasive in nature.
G. density
8. It is expressed in degrees centigrade; is max 30°C; the lowest temperature at which the fuel will flow; wax will form at lower temperatures; wax may block filters or deposit on heat exchangers.
H. viscosity
9. It is expressed in kilograms per cubic metre; it mainly affects the fuel separation.
I. carbon residue
10. It is expressed as per cent by weight; it indicates the coke-forming tendencies of a fuel.
J. sulphur
