Subject:	Minutes of the August 20, 2003 T-11 Conference Call

Oil Consumption:
It was generally agreed that the reported oil consumption value should be derived from a regression of 6 minute data from 25 hours to EOT or dry bucket. The wording in the procedure for the calculation method will need to capture the "dry" hour as being when the curve flattens. The oil consumption limit was set at 65 g/hr maximum for operational validity criteria. This limit stands on its own and will no longer be combined with the 156 hour limit. This change takes effect immediately.

Injection Timing:
Jeff is still missing a significant amount of injection timing data. Labs are to report as soon as possible. Greg stressed that he is still concerned about wide shifts in injection timing within a test. Labs are to submit this data by the end of the week.

Soot Windows:
We will deal with this issue in September's meeting.

LTMS Proposal:
As proposed (attached) the ltms proposal passed (Shank, Richards) unanimously. SAs effective 8/21/03.

Test That Don't Reach 12 cSt:
Vis Inc at 6.0% Soot has been added to the report packet. The group will need to figure out how to handle this data (September meeting).

DIN 90 Pass:
Concern was expressed over differences in the 90 pass din shear number. Labs will report back how the 90 pass numbers were derived. We will keep this item on the agenda.

MRV at EOT and Rotational Vis R-squared:
Removed from test procedure.

The meeting concluded at 12:00 noon eastern time.
