(a) Nomenclature for Aviation Turbine Fuel (JP8) is shown below:

NATIONAL STOCK NUMBER PRODUCT NOMENCLATURE DLA ENERGY PRODUCT CODE

9130-01-031-5816 Turbine Fuel, Aviation JP8

(b) INCIDENTAL CONTAMINANTS. Particulate Matter and Fatty Acid Methyl Ester (FAME) content shall not exceed the limits outlined in Table III of MIL-DTL-83133J dated December 16, 2015.

(c) SPECIFICATION MODIFICATIONS. Aviation Turbine Fuel (JP8) shall conform to MIL-DTL-83133J modified as follows:

(1) TESTING

(i) FILTRATION TIME (FT) TESTING. For filtration time testing round upwards when reporting the filtration time, in minutes. For example, a filtration time of 10 minutes, 18 seconds, would be reported as 11 minutes.

(ii) MICROSEPAROMETER (MSEP) RATING LIMITS.

(A) Prior to initial production under this contract, the Contractor shall elect, on a one-time basis, which MSEP limit will be met for the balance of the contract. If the Contractor introduces fuel system icing inhibitor (FSII), corrosion inhibitor/lubricity improver (CI/LI), and/or static dissipater additive (SDA) after verification of product conformance with the MSEP requirement, the product is not required to meet a fixed limit on subsequent MSEP tests.

(B) If the Contractor elects to verify conformance with the MSEP requirement on a sample of product that does not contain FSII and CI/LI, an additional MSEP test shall be performed on a hand blend containing aviation turbine fuel, FSII, CI/LI, and antioxidant (AO; AO only if required). The FSII shall be included in this hand blend at a concentration of 0.07 to 0.10 volume percent and the amount of the CI/LI included shall be within the concentration range specified in QPL-25017. The additional MSEP result of this hand blend is a REPORT ONLY requirement, and shall be recorded corresponding to item 750X on the Standardized Report Form (see Attachment ). This result shall be recorded with an asterisk next to it, and with a footnote below, stating, “*MSEP result is a ‘Report Only’ requirement. Original result of (fill in actual result) on product containing the following additives: (fill in combination of additives).”

(iii) WORKMANSHIP. The workmanship criteria in MIL-DTL-83133J, paragraph 3.4, is revised to read, “At the custody transfer point, the finished fuel shall be clear and bright and visually free from undissolved water and particulate matter in accordance with Standard Test Method for Free Water and Particulate Contamination in Distillate Fuels, ASTM D4176, Procedure 2, with a result of Rating 1, maximum. If the sample fails ASTM D4176 only because it contains visible particulate matter, but meets the particulate matter requirements of 1.0 mg/L maximum as stated in MIL-DTL- 83133J, Table III, the workmanship criteria is met. In case of dispute as determined by sample results taken from the custody transfer point, the fuel shall be clear and bright at 21 degrees Celsius (70 degrees Fahrenheit) and shall contain no more than 1.0 mg/L of particulate matter. The sample in dispute shall be taken into an area where the sample is permitted to slowly equilibrate to 21 degrees Celsius (70 degrees Fahrenheit).

(2) SPECIAL LOCATION REQUIREMENTS

(i) Rocky Mountain/West. Aviation fuel movement via the Chevron Pipeline (Utah, Idaho, or Washington state entry points) shall be limited to total sulfur content of 0.15 mass percent, maximum.

(ii) Alaska. For fuels refined in Alaska and delivered to Alaska locations, the total Acid number shall be relaxed to 0.020 mg KOH/g maximum.

(d) ADDITIVES. Additives are required for deliveries of JP8 per MIL-DTL-83133J, unless addition is excluded by specific solicitation line item, applicable contract clause, or other contractual requirement.

(1) The CI/LI additive(s) used shall be of the type and concentration cited in QPL-25017. To locate this information: (1) Go to the Acquisition Streamlining and Standardization Information System (ASSIST) QuickSearch website (URL http://quicksearch.dla.mil/), (2) type "QPL-25017" in the Document ID field, press the Search button, (3) click the QPL- 25017 search result under Document ID, (4) click the "View QPD Data" link under Overview, and (5) click the “MIL-PRF- 25017 CATEGORY 1” link under Govt Designation. The concentration range for each additive is listed under the “Source Notes” link under the far right column of the table.

(2) Metal deactivator additive shall not be used in JP8 unless the Contractor has obtained written consent from the Contracting Officer.

(3) The requirement for static dissipater additive (SDA) (see MIL-DTL-83133J, paragraph 3.3.3 and fuel electrical conductivity requirement in Table I) shall not apply unless stated otherwise in the Schedule.

(4) Line injection of additives (FSII, CI/LI and SDA) from shipping tank to delivery conveyance is permitted under the following conditions:

(i) A laboratory hand blend containing the required additives and aviation turbine fuel must be tested to verify compliance with the specification.

(ii) Additives must be proportionately injected throughout the entire loading process to ensure the additive is homogeneously blended into the product. The Contractor shall maintain records evidencing the homogeneous blending of all line injected additives. Such records shall include meter or tank gauge readings or test results taken at intervals to provide confidence in the injection process.

(iii) When FSII is line injected, additive concentration must be verified based on a representative sample from each shipping conveyance.

(iv) When SDA is line injected, and insufficient time is available for the fuel to reach equilibrium before departure of the shipping conveyance, the Contractor is not required to report or verify the conductivity level on a representative sample from the conveyance. This does not relieve the Contractor of the requirement to inject SDA homogeneously and in sufficient quantity to obtain a conductivity level which the Contractor would anticipate to be within the specification limits once the fuel is at equilibrium. The receiving activity will measure the conductivity and advise the Contractor if it does not meet the specification requirements and the Contractor shall adjust the SDA injection quantity accordingly.

(5) SPECIAL LOCATION REQUIREMENTS (AEM ONLY)

(i) For deliveries to La Spezia, Italy, the CI/LI shall be 3.5 g/m3 above the minimum effective concentration as identified in QPL-25017. See paragraph (c)(1) above.

(ii) When antioxidants (AO) are added to the hydrotreated portion of the finished product, the percentage of the blend that has been hydrotreated shall be reported.

(iii) The requirement for static dissipater additive (SDA) (see MIL-DTL-83133J, paragraph

3.3.3 and fuel electrical conductivity requirement in Table I) shall not apply unless stated otherwise in the Schedule.
