  ABSTRACT: One of the important stages in the preparation of fuel for the smooth progress of combustion is to remove humidity from it. Natural resin, a natural product from Pinus nigra was used in order to remove water residues from petroleum fuels. The mass of resin was mixed with diesel fuel, JP-8, and mix diesel-biodiesel and main physicochemical properties measured and compared with those of the raw fuels were measured. The humidity eliminated 38% of diesel, 21% of jet fuel, and 30% of mix diesel-biodiesel (80% - 20%) and improved the physicochemical properties. The resin can be replaced and re-generated as often needed.
