Hi!

hope someone used to work with fuels can give me a hand. The fuel has a maximum of 0.1% of sulphur content in mass, according to its data sheet. In addition, its copper corrosion class is 1A in ASTM D130 test.

May a red brass housing valve be suitable for this fuel?

Thank you!

If you are in a chem plant, steel or stainless steel....
