4 All types of fuels for aviation and automotive equipment (FAAE) After the contact with the residuals of chemical reagents in the stagnant areas of a pipeline that are a mixture of the solvent and the substances contained in the removed asphaltene-resin-paraffin deposits, the quality deterioration by the following indicators is predicted: water content, general contamination, soluble gum content, mass fraction of mercaptan sulfur, 10% residue coking ability, ash content. In addition, when contacting chemical reagents produced on the basis of acids or alkalis, the quality of fuels for aviation and automotive equipment can deteriorate due to the increasing corrosive aggressiveness, as measured by the “copper plate test.”
