Method for combating corrosion of hydrocarbon containers and liquid hydrocarbons having
corrosion inhibiting properties |
(57) The invention relates to a method for combating corrosion of fuel tanks by microorganisms
in the presence of water; the method involves the introduction of a pyrocarbonic diester,
preferably a lower alkyl pyrocarbonate into the fuel tank, in a concentration range
of 0,1-5 grams per liter of liquid fuel.
The invention also realates to liquid fuels, particularly aviation fuels, containing
pyrocarbonic diesters as corrosion inhibiting aditives.
