This paper reviews the research that has been reported in recent years on the stability of liquid fuels. It has been shown that gum is formed as a byproduct of unstable components, and the existent gum content in fuel increases continuously during storage, resulting in a gradual decline in oil quality. The primary purpose of this study is to evaluate the key factors and improvement measures for reducing the gum content of fuels. The study also presents the oxidation mechanism involved in gum formation and indicates the main parameters and specific storage conditions influencing gum accumulation in fuel. We have found that unsaturated olefins, sulfides, nitrides, metals, oxygen, additives and solar radiation have different impacts on gum formation, among them, unsaturated olefins have the most impact on gum formation. In the report, we have also made recommendations for reducing gum accumulation, such as using fiberglass reinforced plastic (FRP) storage tanks, improving the refining process, and integrating nitrogen content into the gasoline quality standard. Moreover, big data and intelligent analysis methods can also be used to model for the change of existent gum content in various fuels. This model can then be used to predict the maximum allowable retention periods of different fuels.
