Several criteria have been applied in evaluating the thermal oxidative stability of a series of blends made from two aviation fuels. Selected for study were a high-quality hydrotreated fuel, POSF-2747, and an average-quality straight-run fuel, POSF-2827. Assessment of thermal stability was based on reaction of dissolved oxygen, formation of hydroperoxides, and production of insolubles. Some blends were found to be less stable than either neat component. Approximately a 10-fold dilution of the straight-run fuel was required before significant improvement in thermal stability was achieved. The implication of blending fuels having different thermal stabilities is discussed.
