The storage and transportation of biofuels continue to be of interest in a number of industries and countries. Depending on the type of biofuel, different materials compatibility issues arise. For the case of alcohol fuels, stress corrosion cracking of steels, and swelling and leaching of various polymeric materials are important. For biodiesels, uniform and localized corrosion of steels is important. This paper will provide an overview of research that has been conducted in alcohol fuels and identify gaps in knowledge.
