Rates of oxidation and gum formation for six hydrocarbons, three jet turbine fuels and three diesel fuels have been measured at 100/sup 0/C in the presence of t-Bu/sub 2/O/sub 2/ as initiator. Four of the six fuels oxidize faster at 100/sup 0/C than in previous work at 130/sup 0/C without initiator. For any single substrate, the amount of gum produced for the oxygen absorbed is similar at 100 and 130/sup 0/C, even with large changes in rates and t-Bu/sub 2/O/sub 2/ concentrations. In general, the pure hydrocarbons have long kinetic chains and give good yields of hydroperoxides.
