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 and Pinus halepensis were used in order to remove water residues from petroleum fuels. The mass of resin (P. nigra and P. halepensis) was mixed with diesel fuel and the humidity eliminated, 38% and 69% of diesel fuel also. The proposed method can be used in a simple fuel cleaning process using a metal mesh vessel consisted of the natural resin of P. nigra sample.
