This specification is specific to spark-ignition engine fuel. Denaturants that could providesatisfactory performanc

The fuel ethanol formulas approved by thealcohol regulatory agency for fuel use could include denaturing materials which are not allowed by this ASTM specification. Itis the denaturers responsibility to consult the regulations to ensure

38、legal denaturing of the fuel ethanol and to ensure compliancewith this specification with regard to allowed denaturants.5.1.2 Prohibited DenaturantsThis specification prohibits the use of hydrocarbons with an end boiling point higher than 225Cas determined by Test Method D86, although they may be pe

39、rmitted by TTB regulations. Some kerosines, for instance, promotepiston scuff in automotive engines. Specific mention must be made of some materials that have extremely adverse effects on fuelstability, automotive engines, and fuel systems. These materials shall not be used as denaturants for fuel e

40、thanol under anycircumstances. They are as follows: methanol, pyrroles, turpentine, ketones, and tars (high-molecular weight pyrolysis productsof fossil or nonfossil vegetable matter). Ketone denaturants tend to degrade fuel stability or increase the tendency of agasoline-ethanol blend to corrode me

41、tals and attack elastomers. These effects become more serious if the concentration of a ketonesuch as 4-methyl pentanone (methyl isobutyl ketone) exceeds one part by volume per 100 parts by volume of fuel ethanol. Thereis no information available on the effects of denaturants other than those mentio

42、ned above. Therefore, the only denaturants thatshall be used are those listed in 5.1.1.5.1.3 Denaturant LevelA buyer may ask the denaturer to denature within a specific range (for example, 1.96 to 2.5 volume%).Abuyer may also ask the denaturer to certify the range used for the denaturant addition.Ab

43、uyer or distributor may comminglereceipts certified within the same range and provide a certification of conformance with the product from that commingling. Theblender may use this certification of conformance for the product to demonstrate compliance with the denaturant limits. If theproduct is shi

44、pped directly from a denaturer to a blender, the initial certification from the denaturer may be used to demonstratecompliance. Compliance with the denaturant limit cannot be determined analytically. Compliance must be based on theinformation from the original denaturer. The limits for the denaturan
