Abstract: The increased pressure on decreasing fuel supplies has prompted the Air Force to examine fuels previously considered unacceptable. Fuels derived from shale oil and fuels high in sulfur and mercaptan sulfur were among thsoe considered unacceptable. This program was to evaluae the non-metallic aircraft materials relative to increased levels of aromatics, sulfur, and mercaptan sulfer. Aircraft materials that are normally in contact or exposed to fuels were evaluated in ten fuel formations.
