2、option or,in the case of revision,the year of last revision.A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.Asuperscript epsilon()indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1.Scope1.1 This test method covers the evaluation of the tendencyof water and fuels with
3、 a final boiling point of less than 390C,as measured in Test Method D86,to separate cleanly ratherthan create emulsions when they may contain potential emul-sion forming additives or components,or have been additizedwith potential emulsion forming additives,or components.1.2 This test method applies
4、 primarily to gasoline,diesel,kerosine,and distillate grades of gas turbine,marine,homeheating oils and furnace fuels(see Specifications D396,D975,D2880,D3699,D4814,and D6985).For fuel components suchas biodiesel or alcohol,refer to X1.2 and X1.3.1.3 This test method is not meant to certify or quali
