Environmental factors and depleting reserves of crude oil are becoming the main driving forces in the quest for cleaner and alternate fuels. A large variety of biofuels are available but very little is known about the corrosion mechanism related to them. The introduction of biofuels is associated with difficulties in transport and storage as well a...

... angle of 128° was observed indicating that the oil preferably wets the carbon steel. Table 4 provides the variation of the conductivity of Jatropha oil before and after exposure to carbon steel. The increased conductivities of the solution after the exposure of the carbon steel may either be due to the increased ionic content of the solution due to carbon steel dissolution or due to the degradation of oil in the presence of the carbon steel. ...
