🔍 Key Concepts

• How fuel flow and atomization are affected by temperature and thickness (viscosity) of the fuel • Why you must keep heavy fuel above certain temperatures to prevent waxing or solidification in lines and strainers • Which fuel tests are directly used to set heater and trace steam temperature in storage, settling, and service tanks

💭 Think About

• Which test tells you how easily a fuel will flow at low temperature and whether it will start to solidify or gel in lines and filters? • Which test result is used with engine maker charts to decide how hot to heat the fuel before injection for proper atomization? • Look at each answer choice: which pair of properties would you actually dial into your fuel heating and temperature-control procedures day to day?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which properties are explicitly linked to flow behavior vs. temperature in fuel specs. • Identify which property is used to ensure correct injection viscosity at the engine. • Eliminate options that deal mainly with combustion quality, energy content, or contamination, rather than temperature settings.
