The "iodine number" of TS-1 fuel. On elimination of the index from GOST 10227-86
It was shown that unsaturated hydrocarbons in concentrations characteristic of TS-1 fuel weakly affect sludging in this fuel but significantly increase the existent gum content, and the rejected standard based on this limits the concentration of unsaturated hydrocarbons in fuel to a much greater degree than the "iodine number" index. Scientifically substantiated recommendations are given for eliminating the "iodine number" index from GOST 10227-86 for TS-1 fuel.
