Article Synopsis
- Fuel contamination, primarily caused by microbial growth, poses a significant challenge during the handling and storage of biodiesel.
- The study analyzes microbial colonies in various fuel samples (diesel, biodiesel, and blends) stored in different environments over 90 days, revealing high contamination levels in all types.
- Findings indicate that blends such as B20 show increased bacterial diversity and growth, while neat biodiesel (B100) exhibits the highest contamination levels, with notable increases in acidity and water content over time.
