BPA's
experience
in
limiting
contamination
during
shipment
of
dis
tillate
fuels
containing
Euromarker
Jeff,

Yes
we
do
ship
Euromarked
fuels
in
our
multi
product
pipelines.
To
the
best
of
my
knowledge
though
i
am
unaware
of
any
trials
on
trail
back
being
carried
out
on
our
UK
pipelines.

To
avoid
contamination
with
non
marked
fuels
our
approach
has
been
to
"
buffer"
Euromarked
products
with
compatible
non
marked
fuels.
i.
e.
Euromarked
kerosene
would
be
buffered
either
side
by
non
marked
kerosene/
Jet
fuel
and
Euromarked
gas
oil
would
be
buffered
by
non
marked
diesel.
The
method
of
buffers
would
ensure
that
there
was
no
contamination
of
Jet
fuel
with
Euromarker.

As
regards
limiting
sulfur
contamination
of
Low
Sulfur
Diesel
our
pipeline
cycle
arrangement
is
such
that
the
diesel
would
be
pumped
after
Jet
fuel
and
followed
by
gasoline.
The
jet
fuel
to
diesel
and
the
diesel
to
gasoline
interfaces
would
be
cut
to
slop
on
receipt
so
ensuring
only
pure
diesel
is
received
at
the
terminal.

I
hope
this
helps,
if
you
need
any
further
clarification
please
don't
hesitate
to
contact
me.
