  text: Due to the fact that modern diesel engines require very well-defined fuel
    properties to ensure high efficiency, low emissions and a long durability, the
    fuel properties and their determination methods have to be standardized. Most
    diesel fuel standards allow a certain volume fraction of biodiesel that can be
    blended to fossil diesel fuel. Biodiesel consists of saturated and unsaturated
    fatty acid methyl esters (FAME) which are more susceptible to oxidation compared
    to fossil diesel fuel. Oxidation products formed by autoxidative processes can
    lead to higher emissions, a higher corrosiveness, fuel filter blocking, clogging
    of fuel injectors, the formation of deposits in the entire fuel system and a decreasing
    lubricity [1]. Therefore, oxidation needs to be prevented by the addition of oxidation
    inhibitors. These antioxidants are consumed during storage, resulting in partial
    loss of their efficiency against oxidative stress. After this induction period
    all antioxidants have been consumed and harmful oxidation products can be formed.
    For the determination of the long-term storage stability of diesel fuels rapid
    oxidation stability test methods were developed and defined by standards. In Europe,
    the most important determination methods are the Rancimat method and the rapid
    small scale oxidation test (RSSOT). Both methods differ in the construction of
    the measurement device and various parameters. However, it is not clear whether
    the results of both methods can be correlated in general. Due to the importance
    of the oxidation stability, we here describe the results of a literature research
    that was carried out using 17 literature sources. Possible correlation factors
    between the Rancimat and the RSSOT method were analyzed, showing that a universal
    correlation cannot be found. In contrast, a comparison of individual series of
    measurement, e.g. with the same antioxidant at various concentrations, can show
    a good correlation between the methods.
