Abstract
Throughout the commercial lifetime of a hydrocarbon fuel, from production at the wellhead to combustion in the chamber, considerations of fuel storage, movement, loss, safety and contamination all apply. These are determined largely by the properties of the fuel itself, and are therefore controlled by suitable property specifications (see appendix 3). They are also influenced significantly by the design of the handling equipment, the procedures adopted and, in some cases, by the use of appropriate fuel additives. The following sections deal with the main features of fuel-handling in turn.
