- Microbiological principles underlying fuel and fuel system biodeterioration
- Sample collection and handling
- Recommendations for disinfecting and removing microbial contamination from fuels and fuel systems
- A variety of diagnostic tests
It applies to furnace, aviation gasoline, diesel, aviation turbine, marine, industrial gas turbine, kerosene, gasoline, fuel systems, crude oil, and all liquid petroleum fuels.
