The test program and report were conducted and prepared by the U.S. Army Tank-Automotive Command Propulsion Systems Division and laboratory. The report details performance and durability tests using Fire Resistant Diesel Fuel (FRDF). The objective of the FRDF program is to develop a future fuel that will reduce the vulnerability of military vehicles to fire, decrease the number of vehicles lost and repair costs, and increase crew survivability. The objective of this project is to evaluate the performance and endurance of a medium-sized, unmodified commercial production diesel engine of 200-hp range tested with FRDF. The FRDF contains tap water of 10.2 to 13.2 percent volume. Another objective of this project is to inspect the fuel-wetted parts of the fuel injection system and engine, and determine the effect of the water in the fuel on these parts.
