Lubricity is the ability of a substance to prevent wear in a system where metal surfaces are
in close contact. Diesel fuel injection systems rely on the fuel itself for lubrication. GCXGC/
TOFMS and multivariate statistics ...

The analysis of fuels is not straightforward, due to its complex nature, and many different techniques have been developed to address this complexity. This paper reports on the use of hydrophilic interaction liquid ...
In order to better understand the lubricating
properties of diesel fuel, species that were present on tribological
surfaces were investigated using secondary ion
time-of-flight mass spectrometry (TOF–SIMS). Traditionally,
only ...

The trace polar species present in diesel were investigated by combining selective ionization
with high resolution mass spectrometry. To eliminate matrix effects, the polar fraction was
extracted using methanol and direct ...
