1.1 ,This test method covers the determination of the content of fatty acid methyl esters (FAME) biodiesel in diesel fuel oils. It is applicable to concentrations from 1.00 to 20 volume ,% (see Note 1). This procedure is applicable only to FAME. Biodiesel in the form of fatty acid ethyl esters (FAEE) will cause a negative bias.
Note 1: ,Using the proper ATR sample accessory, the range maybe expanded from 1 to 100 volume ,%, however precision data is not available above 20 volume ,%.
