Zusammenfassung:Methods for determining suitability of a fuel are disclosed. In particular the methods include analyzing the fuel for one or more compounds derived from styrene and rejecting the fuel for use if the amount or ratio of the one or more styrene derived compounds exceeds a predetermined amount. Additionally some methods include determining a first amount of styrene in the fuel; correlating the amount of the one- or more compounds derived from styrene with a second amount of styrene in the fuel and rejecting the fuel for use if the sum of the first and second amounts of styrene exceeds a predetermined amount or an established correlation ratio amount.
