European foreword
This document (CEN/TR 15367-1:2020) 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 shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
This document supersedes CEN/TR 15367-1:2014.
The update to this document primarily addresses quality issues that can be associated with hard
abrasive particles in diesel fuel that can cause wear damage to high pressure common rail fuel
injection systems.
CEN/TR 15367 consists of the following parts, under the general title Petroleum products -
Guidelines for good housekeeping:
— Part 1: Automotive diesel fuels
— Part 2: Automotive petrol fuels
— Part 3: Prevention of cross-contamination
This part of this standard describes the distribution of automotive fuels in general and diesel in
specific detail. Part 2 was subsequently published to provide guidance on petrol distribution and
specifically to address ethanol issues. Finally, Part 3 was published to provide additional guidance
on preventing cross-contamination of fuel products in common supply and distribution systems.
For further information on the relationship between and the history behind each of the parts, see
the Introduction to this document.
Introduction
During its meeting held in Cannes on June 27 2003, WG 24 “Specification for Automotive diesel”
decided that a guidance document on good housekeeping could be instrumental in preventing
potential motoring problems caused by contamination in the supply chain. This was endorsed by
CEN/TC 19 resolution 24.5 and resulted in an effective publication of the first Technical Report in
March 2006.
Subsequently at the CEN/TC 19/WG 24 meeting on 18 October, 2017 in Zurich, Switzerland there
were technical presentations describing serious wear and damage problems in modern high
pressure diesel vehicle fuel injection systems in Northern Germany and the South East of the United
Kingdom. A CEN task force was formed in January 2018 to investigate these wear and damage
issues.
Investigations by that CEN/TC 19/WG 24 Abrasive Particles task force have shown internal damage
to fuel injector moving parts, internal valves and pressure relief valves causing internal injector
leakage, engine malfunction indicator light illumination, poor engine operation and in some cases
complete engine shutdown [9]. The damage is believed to be caused by hard particulates in the
diesel fuel abrading moving components.
This guidance document has been updated to reflect the abrasive particle contamination issue.
When a similar guideline for petrol was being drafted, it was decided to link these two. The best
option was to publish them as separate parts of the same CEN document, which is achieved by
revising the original CEN/TR 15367:2006 Petroleum products — Automotive Diesel Fuels — Guide
for good housekeeping as part 1. Apart from some harmonization of wording no changes have been
incorporated.
Two additional reports have now been published in this series regarding Automotive Petrol Fuels
(Part 2) and the Prevention of Cross Contamination (Part 3).The work on these three documents
has been carried out with support from CONCAWE and other stakeholders.
Automotive fuel specifications generally apply at the point of delivery to the customer. To ensure
the quality at this point, the 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 its 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, thus the
advice in this document outlines 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 to ensure appropriate
cleanliness and to prevent onward distribution of contaminants.
It does not pre-empt national or local regulations but addresses the issues of contamination by
water, sediment, inorganic contaminants, or microbial growth that may occur in the supply chain
during manufacture, blending, storage and transportation. It does not address contamination by
other fuel products nor does it address possible contamination by water or sediment that may
occur on-board vehicles. Information on vehicle factors is presented in Annex A, however.
2 Normative references
The following documents are referred to in the text in such a way that some or all of their content
constitutes requirements of this document. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For
undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments)

3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply.
ISO and IEC maintain terminological databases for use in standardization at the following
addresses:

3.1
supply chain
process consisting of the following four parts:
— refineries,
— terminals (storage and blending sites),
— filling stations (including retail and industrial customer sites), and
— transportation from refineries to terminals, terminals to terminals and from terminals to filling
stations.
Note 1 to entry: Information on additives beyond the supply chain is given in Annex C.
4 Adulterants and contaminants in the supply chain
4.1 General
EN 590 requires that “Diesel fuel shall be free from any adulterant or contaminant that may render
the fuel unacceptable for use in diesel engine vehicles”. This subclause describes some of the more
common causes
Impacted by EN 590:2013+A1:2017.
4.2 Water
Water may be picked up by the diesel fuel product at various stages of the supply chain and can be
present either as free or dissolved water or as an emulsion with small droplets of water suspended
in fuel. T
