6.1 Intended use. These referee fuels are intended strictly for engine testing IAW AR70-12
and not intended for field use. It's for use in research, development and verification testing of all
compression-ignition engines, diesel-powered auxiliary units, turbine engine driven ground
vehicles, mobile electric power generators, and other fuel handling supply items. The use of
referee fuel in conjunction with Development Testing (DTI through DTIII) is considered
necessary to uncover potential operational problems with respect to performance and to enable
data correlation of all testing sites regardless of geographical location. Referee fuels are not
intended for use in engines or other equipment in the field as a substitute for A-A-52557 or
MIL-DTL-83133 (ground systems only) fuels without approval of the engine manufacturer or
from the U.S. Army Tank-automotive and Armaments Command, ATTN: AMSTA-TR-D/210,
6501 E. 11 Mile Road, Warren, MI 48397-5000. The referee fuel Type I meets the requirements
of fuel required for use in engine qualification testing programs as specified in the NATO engine
qualification procedure STANAG 4195, AEP-5.
6.1.1 Temperature range. Type I and type II referee grade fuels are intended for use in the
same temperature range as OCONUS DF-2, A-A-52557, and JP-8 under MIL-DTL-83133,
respectively. Type I referee fuel has the same cloud point of -13°C (8.6°F) and pour point
of -18°C (-0.4°F) as DF-2 procured for Europe and South Korea. The actual low temperature
