Thermal Stability definition
Thermal Stability means the ability of a fuel to resist the thermal stress which is experienced by the fuel when exposed to high temperatures in a fuel delivery system. Such stress can lead to formation of insoluble gums or organic particulates. Insolubles (gums or organic particulates) can clog fuel filters and contribute to injector deposits.
Thermal Stability means the ability of a fuel to resist the thermal stress which is experienced by the fuel when exposed to high temperatures in a fuel delivery system.
