1 Scope
This document specifies a test method to determine the resistance of a bituminous
mixture or pavement to fuels . The procedure involves initial soaking of a test specimen made in the laboratory
or cored from a pavement in a fuel , followed by a brushing period with a brush test device. The material loss of the
specimen is a measure of the resistance to that fuel for that bituminous mixture.
