Conclusions
-
1.
The deposit-forming tendency of diesel fuels can be assessed in the laboratory by their maximal nonsmoking flame height (MNFH), GOST 4338-48.
-
2.
The deposit-forming tendency of diesel fuels, which is a function of their hydrocarbon type composition, can be expressed by their ring coefficient.
