Foreword
This document (CEN/TR 15367:2006) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 19 “Gaseous and
liquid fuels, lubricants and related products of petroleum, synthetic and biological origin”, the secretariat of
which is held by NEN.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. CEN [and/or CENELEC] shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.

Introduction
During its meeting held in Cannes on 27 June 2003, WG 24 "Automotive diesel" decided that a guidance
document on good housekeeping could be instrumental in prevention of potential motoring problems caused
by contamination in the supply chain. This was endorsed by CEN/TC 19 resolution 24.5. The work has been
carried out with support from Concawe.
Automotive fuel specifications generally apply at the point of delivery to the customer. To ensure the quality at
this point, best practice is to make sure that the product meets specification when it is dispatched from the
refinery and to have systems in place to ensure that it cannot go off-specification on it’s way to the customer.
There will be more than one method or procedure to handle many of the potential contamination issues
throughout the distribution chain. The advice in this document outlines the principles to apply but does not
specify the precise detail of the methods to be adopted in all cases. Nevertheless, it is strongly recommended
that all the procedures or measures to be applied along the distribution chain should be defined using a Total
Quality Assurance methodology.

1 Scope
This document provides general guidance on diesel fuel housekeeping. It does not pre-empt national or local
regulations. It only addresses the issues of contamination by water or sediment that may occur in the supply
chain, during manufacturing, storage and/or transportation. It does not address contamination by other
products nor does it address the possible contamination by water or sediment that may occur on board of
vehicles.
NOTE Informative guidance on vehicle factors is presented in Annex A.
2 Background documentation
The documents referenced below are useful for the application of this document. These are undated
references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies.
Quality requirements for diesel are described in the following European standard:
EN 590, Automotive fuels – Diesel – Requirements and test methods.
Sampling and testing are critical steps in assessing fuel quality, in particular with regard to free-water and/or
sediment contamination issues. Information on sampling can be found in the following standards:
EN 14275, Automotive fuels — Assessment of petrol and diesel quality — Sampling from retail site pumps
and commercial site fuel dispensers
EN ISO 3170, Petroleum liquids – Manual sampling (ISO 3170:2004).
EN ISO 3171, Petroleum liquids – Automatic pipeline sampling (ISO 3171:1988).
UST Rules: EU member states requirements for Underground Storage Tanks differ. In most countries,
specifications exist for tank construction, corrosion protection and leak detection. These regulations have
been set mainly from a safety and environmental protection point of view but also serve to avoid product
contamination.
3 Supply chain definition
For the purpose of this document the supply chain is considered to consist of the following four parts:
 refineries,
 terminals,
 filling stations (including retail and industrial customer sites), and
 transportation from refineries to terminals and from terminals to filling stations.
Information on useful additives beyond the supply chain is given in Annex B.

4 Potential sources of water and sediment in the supply chain
4.1 Water
Water may enter the product at various stages of the supply chain but only becomes an issue if it is present as
free water, which can be a contributory cause of corrosion and biological contamination. Entry points include:
a) as dissolved water during manufacturing; this may become free water further down the supply chain,
depending on ambient conditions, if the product is cooled so much that it reaches saturation point;
b) as free water due to ingress as a result of e.g. heavy rainfall or through cracks in equipment;
c) as water vapour (moist air) through vents followed by cooling/condensation on tank walls, including the
vehicle tanks;
As it is virtually impossible to stop water from entering the supply chain, proper water management is
essential.
4.2 Sediment
Sediment may consist of rust, dirt, dust, oxidation products and biological growth. These may form over a
longer period of time.
5 Housekeeping guidelines
5.1 Elements of good housekeeping
5.1.1 Operations
Proper attention to detail during all operating activities from product manufacturing to final delivery is essential
for guaranteeing product quality. There should therefore be operating procedures in place covering receipt,
delivery, sampling, inspection, testing, and tank draining. These procedures should be reviewed and updated
as required when product quality changes are taking place as a result of new regulations or introduction of
new fuel types.
It is essential that personnel involved at each link in the chain, both company employees and contractors are
properly trained so that they are aware of and understand the importance of applying existing operating
procedures.
If the use of chemicals is considered anywhere in the supply chain for housekeeping purposes (e.g. corrosion
protection or biological disinfection) the potential impact on fuel quality and performance should be
investigated thoroughly. Non-chemical solutions are generally preferred.
5.1.2 Hardware
Age and design of existing hardware along the supply chain vary widely and it is possible to control product
quality properly with differently engineered installations. Quality control is however much easier if hardware is
designed to facilitate good housekeeping as described in the following sections.
5.1.3 Maintenance
No matter how well designed an installation may be, if it is not inspected and maintained properly, equipment
faults will develop over time which may eventually affect the ability of the operator to maintain product quality
at the required level.

5.2 Detailed recommendations
NOTE Recommendations are split into four sections for refineries, terminals, filling stations and transportation, each
covering various elements. They represent current industry experience and are therefore based on handling of
predominantly hydrocarbon diesel fuels.
5.2.1 Refineries
5.2.1.1 Testing
All batches of diesel fuel should be visually assessed, should not contain free water and should be free from
visible sediment. When testing for visual appearance, the prevailing ambient temperature should be
considered. Alternative methods such as on-line haze meters may be used. The product must meet the water
content and total co
