For the complete duration of the Steady State and Transient Tests, operate the Prototype on either a
commercial commodity, natural gas, gasoline, or diesel fuel (s) or a representative fuel based on respectively methane, iso-octane, or hexadecane corresponding to the proposed primary application (s). Utilize external or internal primary fuel reformation or oxidation. If multiple applications using different fuels are proposed split the total test time equally among the different fuel types.
