Diesel Fuel ASTM Spec (ASTM D975-04b)

• ASTM D975-07b Standard Specification for Diesel Fuel Oils (paid download)

Biodiesel Fuel ASTM Spec (ASTM D6751-07b)

• Water & Sediment 0.050 max. % vol. (500ppm) (via D2709)
• http://www.biodiesel.org/pdf_files/fuelfactsheets/BDSpec.PDF

Yellow Book 69

• 1000 mg/kg
• Accompanying research for the standardization of rapeseed oil as fuel for vegetable oil-suited diesel engines in vehicles

RK Quality Standard for Rapeseed Oil as a Fuel (Landtechnik Weihenstephan, adopted as DIN V 51605)

• Max 0.075% (750 ppm) Water by Mass (EN ISO 12937)
• http://www.folkecenter.dk/plant-oil/images/RK-standard-UK.gif (old standard)
• http://www.biokraftstoff-portal.de (newer standard)

DIN 51603-1 Type EL Fuel Oils-Requirements and Testing

• For Fuel oil - like diesel for home heating. water limit = 200mg/kg. Need direct link to DIN 51603-1 to verify.
• Heating oil standard - probably not right standard: Dyed light heating oil standard

MAN B&W specification for vegetable oils and used fats

• water < 0.5 % EN ISO 12537 & sediment content < 200 ppm DIN EN 12662
• MAN B&W specifications for fuels to be used in their diesel engines
