Abstract
Aviation fuels are jet fuels produced from crude oil and has specific physical and chemical properties. Analysis experiments were conducted for different samples of aviation fuel such as gas chromatography, color test, smoke point freezing point, and flash point. The sample of aviation fuel produced from Khartoum refinery used as control sample and other three samples took from air force with different storage period. Results showed that there is no change in color test of all samples, while the components differed in the GC test, where the control sample consisted of 30 compounds, compared with storage sample, which has 40 compounds. The total acidity and the relative mass of sulfur decreased. Meanwhile, there was a slight change in the boiling range and freezing point due to the decrease in viscosity. The results from smoke point test showed that, the smoke point increased from 29.6? in control sample to 37.3? in the storage sample. The electrical conductivity greatly decreased from 256 S/m in the control sample to 110 S/m in the storage sample. These results proved that the effect of storage time in the properties of aviation fuel.
