2.4 Order of precedence. In the event of a conflict between the text of this document and the references cited herein, the text of this document takes precedence. Nothing in this document, however, supersedes applicable laws and regulations unless a specific exemption has been obtained.

3. REQUIREMENTS

3.1 General. Requirements contained herein are not subject to corrections for tolerance of standard test methods. If multiple determinations are made by the inspecting laboratory, average results will be used except for those standard 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 or results obtained and the number falling outside of the repeatability limits. For purposes of determining conformance with these specifications, an observed value or a calculated value shall be rounded “to the nearest unit” in the last right-hand digit used in expressing the specification limit, in accordance with the rounding method of ASTM E29.

3.2 Material. The fuel supplied under this specification shall consist of refined hydrocarbon distillate fuel, containing no residual fuel. The fuel shall be derived from conventional sources including crude oil, natural gas liquid condensates, heavy oil, shale oil and oil sands and may contain only those additives specified in 3.2.1 unless otherwise stated.

3.2.1 Additives. The additives listed herein may be used either singly or in combination provided the amounts do not exceed those specified herein. Information concerning the type and amount of each additive used shall be made available when requested by the procuring activity or user.

3.2.1.1 Metal deactivator. A metal deactivator, N, N-disalicyclidene-1, 2 propanediamine, may be blended into the fuel in an amount not to exceed 5.8 milligrams of active ingredient per liter of fuel (2.2 grams/100 U.S. gallons, or 2 lb/1,000 barrels).

3.2.1.2 Ignition improver. The additive 2-ethylhexyl nitrate may be used to raise the ignition quality of the fuel as required to meet the performance requirements of this specification.

3.3 Physical and chemical requirements. The Naval distillate fuel shall conform to the physical and chemical requirements specified in Table I. Where more than one test method is allowed for a specific requirement, Table I lists the referee test method first and follows it with the notation “(R)”. For sulfur, Table II shows the referee test methods for sulfur, the alternate sulfur test methods, and the range over which each test method applies.

Additive Names and Dosages Record Notes:

1/ If the sample has no visible particulates, but is otherwise not “clear and bright” per ASTM D4176, procedure 1, then the product must meet the requirements of ASTM D2709, 0.05-percent volume of water and sediment, maximum. The fuel is acceptable for appearance if the water and sediment content is 0.05 percent volume or less. If the sample fails ASTM D4176, procedure 1, because it contains visible sediment or particulate matter, but meets the requirements of 10 milligrams per liter, maximum, in accordance with ASTM D5452 or ASTM D6217 then the fuel is considered acceptable provided all other requirements are met.

2/ The demulsification test shall be conducted in accordance with ASTM D1401 with the following exceptions:

(a) Synthetic seawater in accordance with ASTM D1141 shall be the emulsifying fluid.

(b) The test temperature shall be 25 °C.

(c) The demulsification time shall be that required for separation into two layers with no visible cuff at the interface. A lacy emulsion or cuff which does not form a band shall be disregarded. The fuel/water/emulsion layer volumes shall be recorded at one-minute intervals and the demulsification time reported to the nearest minute.

3/ As the end point of the distillation is approached, if either a thermometer reading of 385 °C or a decomposition point is observed, the heating shall be discontinued and the procedure resumed as directed in ASTM D86.

TABLE I. Physical and chemical requirements - Continued.

4/ If either ASTM D5771, D5772, or D5773 is used, the temperature recorded in each respective test shall be rounded to the next lower integer and reported as the ASTM D2500 equivalent cloud point in accordance with ASTM D5771, D5772, or D5773.

5/ This method may be used as a substitute if the test procedure is modified as follows: apply vacuum to the sample for the first time when the fuel sample temperature reaches -1 °C. If the time required for the 20 ml of fuel to be filtered through the wire mesh filter exceeds 60 seconds, record the test as a failure. If the time required for the 20 ml sample to flow through the filter is 60 seconds or less, record the test result as a pass. Do not repeat application of vacuum at successively lower temperatures. This is a modification of the requirement of ASTM D6371 (IP method 309) that vacuum be applied to the test specimen immediately after the test jar is inserted into the cooling jacket or, at a minimum, when the fuel is a least 5 °C above its cloud point.

6/ IP 309 is an Institute of Petroleum Test Method.

7/ Low Temperature Flow Test of ASTM D4539 may be used as a substitute method on the condition that the

“specified test temperature” approach provided therein is used: start the test (apply the test vacuum to the test specimen for the first time) when the fuel sample temperature reaches -1 °C. Do not repeat application of vacuum at successive lower temperatures.

8/ The flash point value is absolute and no value less than 60 °C is permissible.

9/ If ASTM D5452 is utilized, a one-liter minimum sample is required.

10/ If either ASTM D5949, D5950, or D5985 is used, the results from these tests should be based on the observations at 3 °C temperature intervals and reported as the ASTM D97 equivalent.

11/ The sample size when using ASTM D974 shall be 20.0±2.0 grams.

12/ If ASTM D189 or ASTM D4530 is performed in lieu of ASTM D524, the maximum allowable carbon residue shall be 0.14 percent. When the finished fuel contains a cetane improver, the carbon residue requirement specified in Table I shall apply to the base fuel without the cetane improver.

13/ The minimum allowable Cetane Number of the finished product shall be 42 when tested in accordance with ASTM D613. Alternatively, the Cetane Index of the base fuel without cetane-improving additives, shall be a minimum of 43 when tested in accordance with ASTM D976.

14/ Only nylon membrane filter media (0.8 micron pore size) are acceptable as specified in the latest revision of ASTM D5304. Do not use glass fiber (Type A/E) filter media to obtain test results.

15/ This test is performed on the finished product. If ASTM D2274 is utilized, the test period shall be extended from 16 hours to 40 hours.

16/ The effective date for this maximum sulfur limit of 0.5 wt % will be 2008. Until then, the maximum sulfur limit will be 1.0 wt %.

17/ Referee method for a sulfur range of 0.0150 to 1.0 wt. %.

18/ Referee method for a sulfur range of 0.0001 to 0.0150 wt. %.

4.5 Ozone Depleting Substances (ODS). In any of the test methods, the use of any ODS as outlined in EPA Class 1 and Class 2 Ozone Depleting Substances is prohibited. An appropriate non-ODS solvent shall be substituted.

5. PACKAGING

5.1 Packaging. For acquisition purposes, the packaging requirements shall be as specified in the contract or order (see 6.2). When packaging of materiel is to be performed by DoD or in-house contractor personnel, these personnel need to contact the responsible packaging activity to ascertain packaging requirements. Packaging requirements are maintained by the Inventory Control Point’s packaging activities within the Military Service or Defense Agency, or within the military service’s system commands. Packaging data retrieval is available from the managing Military Department’s or Defense Agency’s automated packaging files, CD-ROM products, or by contacting the responsible packaging activity.
