Work Item

ASTM WK66419

New Specification for High-Octane Unleaded Aviation Gasoline Test Fuel Containing an Oxygenated Component

1. Scope

This specification covers performance and compositional specifications for purchases of ether-containing unleaded (UL100) aviation test fuels under contract and is intended solely for use by purchasing agencies for testing purposes.

Keywords

ETBE; MTBE; oxygenated; piston aircraft; test fuel; unleaded; high-octane; aviation gasoline

Rationale

Current ASTM D6227 standard for aviation gasoline containing a non-hydrocarbon component does not include a broad enough specification for oxygen or include grades with motor octane greater than 87 or the intentional addition of alcohols other than isopropanol.
