MIL-DTL-87107E
3.1.1 Recycled, recovered, or environmentally preferable materials. Recycled, recovered, or
environmentally preferable materials should be used to the maximum extent possible, provided that the
material meets or exceeds the operational and maintenance requirements, and promotes economically
advantageous life cycle costs.
3.2 Chemical and physical requirements. The chemical and physical requirements of the
finished fuel shall conform to those listed in Table I. Requirements contained herein are not subject to
correction for test tolerances. If multiple determinations are made, results falling within any specified
repeatability and reproducibility tolerances may be averaged. For rounding off of significant figures,
ASTM E29 shall apply to all tests required by this specification.
3.3 Additives. The additives listed shall be used in combination in amounts not to exceed those
specified. The type and amount of each additive used shall be reported.
3.3.1 Antioxidants. The following active inhibitors shall be blended separately or in combination
into the fuel in total concentration of 90 parts per million (minimum) to 110 parts per million (maximum), by
weight, not including weight of solvent, in order to prevent the formation of polymeric oxidation products:
a. 2,6-di-tert-butyl-4-methylphenol
b. 6-tert-butyl-2,4-dimethylphenol
c.
2,6-di-tert-butylphenol
3.3.2 Fuel system icing inhibitor. Fuel system icing inhibitor (FSII) shall only be used at the
request of the user. When requested by the user, the FSII shall conform to MIL-DTL-85470.
3.4 Workmanship. The finished fuel blend shall be visually free from undissolved water,
sediment or suspended matter and shall be clear and bright at the ambient temperature or at 21°C (70°F),
whichever is higher. ASTM D4176 describes a suitable test method for determining if the fuel is clear and
bright.

VERIFICATION
4.1 Classification of inspection. The inspection requirements specified herein are classified as
quality conformance inspection (4.2).
4.2 Conformance inspections. For acceptance purposes, individual lots shall be examined as
specified herein and subject to tests for all requirements cited in section 3.
4.2.1 Inspection lot.
4.2.1.1 Bulk lot. A bulk lot shall consist of an indefinite quantity of a homogenous mixture of
material offered for acceptance in a single isolated container.
4.2.1.2 Packaged lot. A packaged lot shall consist of an indefinite number of 55-gallon drums or
smaller unit packages of identical size and shape offered for acceptance and filled from the isolated tank
containing a homogenous mixture of material.
4.2.2.1 Sampling for verification of product quality. Each bulk or packaged lot of material shall
be sampled for verification of product quality in accordance with ASTM D4057 except where individual
test procedures contain specific sampling instructions.
4.2.2.2 Sampling for examination of filled containers for delivery. A random sample of filled
containers shall be selected from each lot. The samples shall be examined in accordance with 4.4.3.
4.3 Inspection. Inspection shall be in accordance with 4.4.3 of this specification.
4.4 Examinations.
4.4.1 Examination of products. Samples selected in accordance with 4.2.2.1 shall be visually
examined for compliance with 3.4.
4.4.2 Examination of empty containers. Prior to filling, each empty unit container shall be
visually inspected for cleanliness and suitability.
