Proper Storage of ULSD in Fuel Storage Tanks
2015年5月6日 · ULSD (ultra-low sulfur diesel) is a biofuel that has become common in recent years both due to regulatory requirements as well as for its cleaner-burning, more efficient characteristics. Storing any fuel requires proper management, and …
Can Ultra-Low Sulfur Diesel (ULSD) fuels be used as the diesel fuel component in bio-diesel blends such as B-2, B-20, B-xx? Technically the diesel portion of bio-diesel blends can be either Low Sulfur Diesel or Ultra-Low Sulfur Diesel. Some DESC contracts have been changed to allow only ULSD as the diesel fuel component of biodiesel blends.
Ultra-low-sulfur diesel - Wikipedia
Ultra-low-sulfur diesel (ULSD) is diesel fuel with substantially lowered sulfur content. Since 2006, almost all of the petroleum-based diesel fuel available in Europe and North America has been of a ULSD type.
Guidance for Underground Storage Tank Management at ULSD
GUIDANCE FOR UNDERGROUND STORAGE TANK MANAGEMENT AT ULSD DISPENSING FACILITIES INTRODUCTION If a fuel storage facility is not properly maintained, bacteria and fungi can grow in the fuel‐water interface, causing filter problems and deactivating the water monitoring system.
