Simple, Cost-Effective On-Site Fuel Testing
Biodiesel Experts International takes the guess work out of fuel quality verification with our family of easy-to-use test kits that measure biodiesel fuel quality and biodiesel fraction (percent biodiesel). Based upon widely recognized ASTM standards and Engine Manufacturers Association (EMA) recommendations, these tests are simple enough to be performed by anyone. The results are easy to read and are available in minutes. When used on a regular basis as part of your organization’s fuel quality assurance program, these tests can identify fuel-related problems before they impact your fleet!
Biodiesel Quality Changes
Biodiesel is the most cost-effective and east-to-implement alternative fuel that reduces the harmful emissions of diesel vehicles. Derived from natural oils and fats, yet completely compatible with petrodiesel engines and fuel, biodiesel allows fleet managers to preserve their investment in fuel efficient diesel vehicles by seamlessly introducing it into their fuel supply. However, the very characteristics that make biodiesel an excellent alternative fuel also make it susceptible to chemical and biological degradation. In short, biodiesel fuel quality can change from the moment it leaves the fuel producer to the point that it is injected into your vehicle engines.
Verify Biodiesel Quality On-The-Spot
Using biodiesel fuel does not mean putting your fleet at risk. Simple and inexpensive precautions can virtually eliminate potential adverse effects related to inconsistent fuel quality. Since fuel characteristics change over time, a consistent quality assurance (testing) program is needed to detect changes before they become a problem. To be effective, this testing needs to happen at the point of use (i.e., at the fl eet fueling station).
Biodiesel Experts International provides you with the tools you need to verify fuel quality wherever it is being used. Whether you are a high-volume biodiesel distributor or a fleet manager using biodiesel to reduce environmental impact, our test kits measure the key indicators of fuel quality on the spot. Results are available immediately
- not after the 3 to 14 days required for lab testing.
