This specification covers a 100 % middle distillate fuel oil with no residual fuel oil contamination for use in military marine (non-aviation gas turbine engines, compression ignition/diesel engines, and other non-automotive applications) and emergency generator applications (military or commercial). Specimens shall be suitably sampled and tested, and accordingly conform to specified values of the following requirements: ash content; carbon residue (10 % distillation residue); cetane number or index; cloud point; copper corrosion rating; density; 90 % distillation point; flash point; storage stability; sulfur content; kinematic viscosity; and water and sediment content.

Scope

1.1 This specification covers a 100 % middle distillate fuel oil with no residual fuel oil contamination for use in military marine applications (non-aviation gas turbine engines, compression ignition/diesel engines, and other non-automotive applications), and emergency generator applications (military or commercial).

1.2 This specification, unless otherwise provided by agreement between the purchaser and the supplier, prescribes the required properties of middle distillate fuel at the time and place of delivery. Nothing in this specification shall preclude observance of federal, state, or local regulations that may be more restrictive.

1.3 During handling and use of all middle distillate fuels, the generation and dissipation of static electricity can create fire and explosion hazards. For more information on this subject see Guide D 4865.

1.4 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as the standard.

1.5 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory requirements prior to use.
