Conclusions 1. The data that have been cited permit the conclusion that, over the past 10–15 years, the jet fuels of the U.S.A. and England have been produced on the basis of hydrotreated distillates, straight-run fractions after demercaptization, and blends of these two types of stocks, in some cases containing the antioxidant additive Ionol. 2. The thermal stability and corrosivity of fuels depend not so much on the sulfur content (within the allowable limits) as on the stability of the classes of sulfur compounds under the given operating conditions, and also (very markedly) on the amounts of unsaturated compounds present in the fuels. 3. The antioxidant additive Ionol improves significantly the thermal stability and decreases the corrosivity of a hydrotreated fuel that is free of sulfur compounds. 4. The fuels are arranged in order of decreasing thermal stability and increasing corrosivity as follows: hydrotreated with antioxidant, mixture of fuels (two parts hydrotreated and one part straight-run demercaptized), hydrotreated without additive, straight-run demercaptized. 5. The quality of jet fuels of all types, regardless of their constituents, is governed by one and the same specification.
