Storage stabilities of a petroleum‐derived jet fuel (JP‐5), manufactured by the Chinese Petroleum Corporation in Taiwan, were studied. Fuel degradation was monitored in the presence of added specific heteroatomic (O, N, S) and unsaturated compounds, copper, iron and aluminum powders and mixtures of some of these at room temperature and 80°C. A mechanism is suggested for the sediment formation with the sulfur compounds. The extent of light scattering and of metal drawn into JP‐5 from added metal powder measured by ICP‐AES are correlated with the extent of deposit formation in degradation of the fuel. Metal promotes deterioration of JP‐5, because of metal complex formation.
