Standard Commercial DieselProportion of 2005
CONUS Procurements

• All Army, Navy and Federal Civilian diesel line
  items are being solicited as Standard Commercial
  Diesel
• Selected Air Force diesel line items also
  converted to Std Comm Diesel

8
Rationale for Conversion

• Visual assessment of clear fuels can detect
  solids in the 1-5 mg/L range
• Visual assessment of fuel is more likely to be
  performed than quantitative assessment
• Visual assessment can be used as a basis to
  reject a contract diesel fuel delivery

9
Rationale for Conversion (Contd)

• DESC purchases more than ½ million gallons/week
  of standard commercial diesel
• More than half of that fuel goes to the Military
  Services
• 9 year history of Military Service LS2 use with
  few complaints and no re-conversion to DL2
• Currently all DESC customers in the U.S. Midwest
  receive standard commercial diesel
