Introduction
Excessive contamination in a fuel system can give rise to premature blocking of filters and/or hardware
failure, and is therefore undesirable. The determination of the content of undissolved substances,
referred to as total contamination, is a way to control this issue.
In the previous version of this method, the scope was covering middle distillates, diesel fuels containing
up to 30 % (V/V) of FAME and neat FAME. It was found that the improvement sought in 2014, give
problems in the lab in testing FAME and correlate the results to those obtained with the previous version
of the method. A solution has been found, which resulted in splitting the methodology in two parts: to
include the previous version as Part 1 and to develop a separate standard for neat FAME as Part 2.
An interlaboratory study was conducted to determine the valid precision of the method for determining
total contamination in neat FAME according to this document.
1 Scope
This document specifies a method for the determination of the content of undissolved substances,
referred to as total contamination, in neat fatty acid methyl esters (FAME). The working range is from
5 mg/kg to 27 mg/kg and it was established in an interlaboratory study by applying EN ISO 4259-1 [1].
This document in general is applicable to FAME having a kinematic viscosity not exceeding 8 mm /s at
20 °C, or 5 mm /s at 40 °C, e.g. as specified in EN 14214 [2].
This test method can be used for FAME having a kinematic viscosity exceeding 8 mm /s at 20 °C, or
5 mm /s at 40 °C, however in such cases the precision of the test method has not been determined.
NOTE For the purposes of this document, the term “% (V/V)” is used to represent the volume fraction, φ, of a
material.

3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply.
ISO and IEC maintain terminology databases for use in standardization at the following addresses:
— ISO Online browsing platform: available at https://www.iso.org/obp

3.1
total contamination
undissolved substances retained on a filter after filtration under test conditions
3.2
absolute pressure
pressure measured relative to zero pressure or a total vacuum
4 Principle
A sample portion is weighed and filtered under vacuum through a pre-weighed filter. The filter with the
residue is washed, dried and weighed. Contamination is calculated from the difference in mass of the filter
and expressed relative to the sample mass as mg/kg.
5 Reagents and materials

NOTE Heptane used as a reference fuel in EN ISO 5164 [3] is suitable.
5.2 Propan-2-ol, with a purity no less than 99,0 % (V/V).
NOTE Propan-2-ol is used to dry glassware and the sample container after rinsing with water.
6 Equipment
All glassware and sample containers shall be carefully cleaned as described in Clause 7.
Usual laboratory apparatus and glassware, together with the following:
6.1 Filtration apparatus, suitable for a filter (6.2), as shown in Figure 1. A different filtration
