Once we get into the issue of microbial growth, into things like biofilms, and much more complex phenomena.
Wow... now I got to do some real reading.
I am becoming more and more uneasy as I delve into ASTM with regards to biofuel standards, biodiesel, and issues of how quality is defined, measured, and tested.
Water in fuel... acknowledged test as troublesome.
Storage --- simply dealing with basic issues, but not serious contamination, 2nd order, 3rd order products.
Above all, not any real understanding of the stresses that diesel has to go through before it is injected.
Another idle thought..
What if this problem is mixed with misfueling?
DEF put in fuel tank?
Fuel contamination?
