Introduction
th
At its meeting in Naantali, Finland, on the 30 November 2006, CEN/TC 19/WG 21 agreed to adopt the Work
Item titled "Fuels supply chain – Guide for preventing cross contamination between petrol and diesel" on its
Work Programme with the intention to begin work on a CEN Technical Report in 2007. This resulted from the
report of an internal TF that had investigated detection and prevention of the occurrence of high boiling
components in petrol and its relation to occurrence of some increased oil dilution problems in bench testing of
gasoline engines.
1)
This work has been carried out with support from CONCAWE .
Automotive fuel specifications generally apply at the point of sale to the final customer. To ensure fuel quality
at this point in the supply chain, the best practice is to ensure that the product meets specification when it is
dispatched from the refinery or terminal (if final blending takes place at the terminal) and to have quality
systems in place to ensure that the fuel product does not become contaminated on its way to the final
customer. There will typically be more than one method or procedure to control potential sources of
contamination throughout the supply chain. For this reason, this document outlines the principles to apply but
does not necessarily specify the precise detail of the methods to be adopted in all cases. Nevertheless, it is
strongly recommended that all of the procedures or measures to be applied along the supply chain should be
defined using a Total Quality Assurance methodology.
Although the term "cross contamination" can suggest the contamination of one fuel by another of the same
type, "cross contamination" is used in this Technical Report in a more general sense, that is, the
contamination of one fuel type by usually small amounts of a different fuel type that was previously stored,
loaded, blended, or transported in the same container, tank, or vessel.

1 Scope
This document provides general guidance on automotive fuel handling. It does not pre-empt national or local
regulations. It only addresses the issue of cross contamination between petrol and diesel automotive fuels that
may occur in the supply chain, during manufacturing, storage, transportation or distribution. There may also
be a risk of contamination with other products such as kerosene/jet fuel and off road diesel. The guidance
principles described in this document would apply equally to managing these risks although some details may
be different.
2 Normative references
The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document. For dated
references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced
document (including any amendments) applies.
NOTE This Technical Report incorporates provisions from other publications based on undated references. These
normative references are cited at the appropriate places in the text and the publications are listed in the Bibliography.
EN 228, Automotive fuels – Unleaded petrol – Requirements and test methods
EN 590, Automotive fuels – Diesel – Requirements and test methods
EN 14214, Automotive Fuels – Fatty acid methyl esters (FAME) for diesel engines – Requirements and test
methods
EN 15376, Automotive fuels – Ethanol as a blending component for petrol – Requirements and test methods
3 Fuels under consideration
Quality requirements for the products under consideration, that need to be fulfilled at the point of supply or
sales, are:
 for petrol: EN 228;
 for the petrol component (bio)ethanol: EN 15376;
 for automotive diesel: EN 590; and
 for biodiesel and FAME blending component: EN 14214.
Prevention of contamination with other products, like kerosene or non-road diesel, is of course also included in
this document, but no European quality designations exist for these products.
4 Supply chain definition
For the purposes of this document, the supply chain consists of the following four parts:
 refineries, where products are manufactured and mainly exported by ship, pipeline or other means of
transport;
 terminals, where trucks are loaded for delivery to filling stations and where some product blending may
also take place;
5

CEN/TR 15367-3:2009 (E)
 filling stations (including retail and industrial customer sites); and
 transportation from refineries to terminals and from terminals to filling stations.
5 Potential sources of cross contamination in the supply chain
Cross contamination can occur at any stage of the supply chain and can be caused by inadequate design of
equipment and facilities, by inadequate inspection or maintenance, or by inadequate management of
operations. These issues are addressed below.
6 Housekeeping guidelines
6.1 Elements of good housekeeping
6.1.1 Operations
To ensure good quality of the product at the point of delivery to the customer, the best practice is to verify that
the product meets specifications when it is dispatched from the refinery and then to have systems and
procedures in place that will prevent contamination on its way to the customer. Proper attention to detail
during all operations from product manufacturing to final delivery is essential for guaranteeing product quality.
For this reason, there should be operating procedures in place covering receipt, delivery, sampling, inspection,
testing, documentation and volume accounting. These procedures should be reviewed and updated as
required especially when product quality changes are taking place as a result of new regulations, the
introduction of new fuel types, or during seasonal transitions. It is essential that personnel involved at each
link in the product supply chain, both company employees and contractors, are properly trained so that they
are aware of and understand the importance of applying standard operating procedures.
6.1.2 Hardware
Although the age and design of existing hardware along the supply chain can vary widely, it is still reasonable
to expect that fuel product quality can be properly controlled with differently engineered installations. Quality
control is much easier, however, if hardware is designed to facilitate product segregation as described in the
following sections.
6.1.3 Maintenance
Even if an installation is well designed, equipment faults can develop over time if the installation is not
inspected and properly maintained. These may eventually affect the ability of the operator to maintain product
quality at the required level.
6.2 Detailed recommendations
6.2.1 General
Recommendations are split into four sections, each covering various elements for refineries, terminals, filling
stations and transportation. They represent current industry experience and are based on predominantly
handling hydrocarbon petrol fuels, but should equally apply to the handling of fuels containing bio-components.

6.2.2 Refineries
6.2.2.1 Testing and sampling
All batches of automotive fuels should be tested to ensure compliance with EN 228, EN 590 or other relevant
national product specifications. Test records and samples should be kept for a sufficient period to cover
market needs and regulatory requirements.
Imported products should be tested using the same approach as recommended for terminal
