Fleet Fuel Testing (aka Fleet Biodiesel) produces simple "Go / No Go" field tests for verifying the quality of diesel, biodiesel, and blended fuels. They should be used whenever a vehicle is experiencing problems that may be related to fuel quality, such as rough idle, poor starting, excessive smoke, clogged filters, or more severe problems such as blown injectors. Fuel quality testing should be a regular part of service calls and vehicle maintenance.
Diesel fuel tests are essential to fleet managers or generation plant operators for testing stored fuel or to test deliveries of suspect fuel. The tests are small, easy to use, and much less expensive than laboratory analysis. Choose the test kit according to your type of fuel: diesel, biodiesel, kerosene, heating oil or jet fuel.

FT-0100 Water and Visual Clarity
This is a simple two-part test in which diesel or biodiesel fuel is tested for visual clarity and the presence of entrained (dissolved) water.
This test should be used as an initial screening test for fuel deliveries and for periodic monitoring of fuel quality at the dispenser and storage tanks. It can also be used as a vehicle maintenance diagnostic to detect entrained water (a major cause of blown injector tips). Works for diesel, biodiesel, biodiesel blends.
FT-0110 Test for Microbial Contamination
This is a test to detect both fungal and bacterial contamination in diesel and biodiesel fuel. It can be used to test fuel from the dispenser, from the vehicle tank, or from the main fuel storage tanks.
This test should be used to test diesel and biodiesel storage tanks on a one to three month basis. This test may also be used as a vehicle diagnostic if a fuel sample fails the Water and Visual Clarity test.
FT-0120 & FT-0121 Acid Number Test
This threshold test indicates whether diesel or biodiesel fuel exceeds industry specifications for acid number value, a key indicator of biodiesel degradation.
This test should be used to test fuel deliveries and periodic monitoring of fuel quality at the dispenser and storage tanks. It can also be used in vehicle maintenance to detect degraded fuel in seasonal use vehicles.
