About this file
This is a Military Specification (MIL-F-24951B) for Fuel Oil, Reclaimed, issued February 10, 1995, and approved for use by the Department of the Navy and all Departments and Agencies of the Department of Defense. The specification covers reclaimed fuel oil (NSN 9140-01-068-6903) produced from Navy reclamation operations for use as a substitute for ASTM D 396 fuel oil in stationary fuel-burning furnaces for heating buildings and steam generation.
The fuel shall consist of a mixture of distillates and residual fuel that may contain used lubricants or other used oil products, and must conform to 40 CFR 266 for On-Specification Used Oil Fuel. Approved additives may include fuel oil stabilizers (up to 100 mg/L), antioxidants (17.2-24 mg/L of approved formulations), metal deactivators (up to 5.8 mg/L), and ignition improvers (amyl nitrate, hexyl nitrate, cyclohexyl nitrate, or N-octyl nitrate). The fuel must meet specified chemical and physical requirements including flashpoint minimum of 38°C, explosiveness maximum of 50 percent, water and sediment maximum of 2.0 percent, viscosity at 40°C of 2.0-15.0 cSt, pour point maximum of -6.7°C, sulfur content maximum of 2.0 percent, and trace metal limits for arsenic, cadmium, chromium, and lead. Total halogen content must not exceed 1,000 ppm. Testing follows ASTM standards for viscosity, flash point, pour point, sulfur content, ash, and water/sediment. Sampling and inspection are performed on upper, middle, and lower portions of bulk lots to ensure homogeneity, with packaging and marking per MIL-STD-290. The Navy retains responsibility for ensuring compliance with all requirements, while users are responsible for safe and environmentally sound burning operations.

3. REQUIREMENTS
3.1 General. Requirements contained herein are not subject to corrections for tolerance of test methods. If multiple determinations are made by the inspecting laboratory, average results will be used except for those test methods where repeatability data are given. In those cases, the average value derived from the individual results that agree within the repeatability limits given may be used at the discretion of the inspection authority, provided an indication is given of the total number of results obtained and the number falling outside the repeatability limits. For purposes of determining conformance with each requirement, an observed value or calculated value shall be rounded off to the nearest unit in the last right-hand place of figures used in expressing the limiting value, in accordance with the rounding-off procedures given in ASTM E 29.
3.2 Material. Fuel Oil, Reclaimed shall consist of a mixture of distillates and residual fuel and may contain used lubricants or other used oil products. The product must be in conformance with 40 CFR 266 for On-Specification Used Oil Fuel to meet the requirements of Fuel Oil, Reclaimed. A product that is subject to regulation as a hazardous waste or that is mixed with a hazardous waste does not meet the requirements of this specification.
3.2.1 Additives. The additives listed herein may be present
singularly or in combination as a result of different fuel sources.
3.2.1.1 Stabilizer Additives. Fuel Oil Stabilizer Additive, conforming to DOD-A-24682 (and listed in the current QPL-24682, may have been blended into the original distillate fuel for additional protection against deterioration at a dosage up to 100 milligrams per liter (37.9 grams/100 gallons (U.S.) or 35 pounds/ 1,000 barrels).
3.2.1.2 Antioxidants. An approved antioxidant may have been
nlended into the original jet fuel to prevent the formation of gums and peroxides after manufacture. The concentration of the antioxidant may range from 17.2 mg to 24 mg of active ingredient per liter of fuel (6.0 to 8.4 lb/1000 barrels). The following antioxidant formulations are approved:
a. 2,6-di-tert-butyl-4-methylphenol
b. 6-tert-butyl-2,4-dimethylphenol
c. 2,6-di-tert-butylphenol

e. 72 percent minimum 6-tert-butyl-2,4-dimethyphenol 28 percent maximum tert-butyl-methylphenols and tert-butyl-dimethylphenols
EXHIBIT B 4
3.2.1.3 Metal Deactivator. A metal deactivator, N,N-
disalicyclidene-1, 2 propanediamine may have been blended into the original fuel in an amount not to exceed 5.8 milligrams of active ingredient per liter of fuel (2.2 grams/100 gallons (U.S.)
or 2 lb/1,000 barrels).
3.2.1.4 Ignition Improver. Ignition Improver additives may have been added to the original fuel to raise the ignition quality of the fuel. The following additives are approved:
Amyl Nitrate (mixed primary nitrates) Hexyl Nitrate (N-Hexyl Nitrate) Cyclohexyl Nitrate N-Octyl Nitrate
3.3 Chemical and Physical Requirements. The fuel shall conform to the physical and chemical requirements specified in Table I.

1/ In the U.S., limits for sulfur, metals, halogens, PCBs or other constituents shall be as specified or as regulated by EPA, State or local regulations where the fuel is to be burned, EXHIBIT B 5 whichever is more restrictive. In foreign countries the sulfur limit shall conform to the limit established in the Status of Forces Agreement.
2/ Requirements may vary in accordance with changes in Federal, State and local environmental regulations and with specific user equipment requirements.
3/ Fuel Oil, Reclaimed is intended to be managed as an On- Specification Used Oil Fuel under this specification in accordance with regulations for Used Oils provided by 40 CFR 266.
Fuel Oil, Reclaimed containing more than 1,000 ppm total halogens is presumed to be a hazardous waste and is not acceptable for use under this specification. This presumption can be rebutted by demonstrating that the oil does not contain significant concentrations of hazardous waste, in which case the oil is acceptable for use under this specification and can be managed as a Used Oil Fuel under 40 CFR 266. Fuel Oil, Reclaimed containing more than 4,000 ppm total halogens that is not a hazardous waste is regulated as an Off-Specification Used Oil Fuel under 40 CFR 266.
3.4 Regulatory Requirements. Because Fuel Oil, Reclaimed is a product of a mixture of a variety of oils, the product is subject to regulation by 40 CFR 266, Subpart E. Generators, suppliers and users of Fuel Oil, Reclaimed are also subject to applicable environmental regulations in 40 CFR 266.
4. QUALITY ASSURANCE PROVISIONS
4.1 Responsibility. Unless otherwise specified in the contract or purchase order, the Navy is responsible for the performance of all inspection requirements as specified herein. Except as otherwise specified in the contract or purchase order, the Navy may use its own or any other facilities suitable for the performance of the inspection requirements specified herein.
4.2 Bulk Lot. Bulk lot shall be considered an indefinite
quantity of a homogeneous mixture of material offered for acceptance in a single isolated container.
4.3 Homogeneity. The homogeneity of the product will be
determined by measuring density (API Gravity) using ASTM Test
4.4
4.5 Method D 287. Lots will be considered homogeneous if the
determinations for the upper, middle and lower samples do not vary from the average by more than 0.5 for API Gravity.
4.4 Sampling.
4.4.1 Sampling for Tests. Samples for tests shall be taken in accordance with ASTM D 4057 or 4177. Samples shall be tested in accordance with Table I and 4.5. Upper, middle and lower samples will be taken as described in ASTM D 4057 or 4177. Samples may
EXHIBIT B 6
be composited to a single sample if the lot is homogeneous. If the lot is not homogeneous, specification tests will be performed separately on the upper, middle and lower samples.
4.5 Inspection. Inspection shall be performed in accordance
with method 9601 of FED-STD-791.
4.6 Test Reports. Test data shall be reported in the same order as listed in Table I.
5. PREPARATION FOR DELIVERY
5.1 Packaging, Packing and Marking. Packaging, packing and
marking shall be in accordance with MIL-STD-290. The level of packaging, level of packing, type, and size shall be as specified (see 6.2.1).
