More Information
Summary:The invention relates to methods and compositions for attaining acceptably low uptake of zinc and copper metals in a renewable component of a distillate boiling range fuel composition. The method can advantageously comprise the steps of providing the renewable component comprising blending a tallow ester feed and at least one of soybean oil ester feed and palm oil ester feed, such that the tallow ester feed comprises from about 35 vol % to about 90 vol % of the renewable component, and exposing the renewable component blend to a source of zinc or copper under conditions sufficient for copper and/or zinc to leach into the renewable component, but only to an acceptably low level.
