Lubricity-enhancing properties of soy oil when used as a blending stock for middle distillate fuels
As the price of middle distillate fuels continues to rise, the use of bioderived materials as fuel blending stocks becomes attractive. In the present research, a severely hydrotreated diesel fuel was blended in concentrations of 10-20% and was shown to have significantly better lubricity as measured by ASTM D6078/BOCLE, ASTM D6079/SLBOCLE, and BOTD. The current ASTM methods showed a wide differentiation between the hydrotreated fuel and the soy blends. The differences in the BOTD measurements were not as large.
