ABSTRACT:
A method for testing and treating distillate fuel being stored for long periods of time for emergency power generation applications and the like, including measuring the percent transmittance of a fuel sample with ultraviolet before and after heating at a preselected temperature below the boiling range of the distillate fuel for a sufficient period of time to accelerate polymerization where the sample is made to reach such preselected temperature within about five minutes; and comparing the percent transmittance measurements to determine the suitability of the fuel for continued storage with or without the addition of further polymerization inhibitors and/or depolymerizers.
