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

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.

The title and scope are in draft form and are under development within this ASTM Committee.
