Field Fuel Testing Kits – Water & Microbial Detection

For Microbial Detection

1. Add provided 2ml liquid vile into 10ml tube

2. Full 10 ml tube with fuel sample

3. Tighten cap of 10ml vile and shake well

4. Wait 48 – 72 hours. Store the bottle at room temperature

Interpreting the results

(75°- 85° for best results) for 48 -72 hours.

PASS: No changes in your sample

FAIL: Color changes in microbial feeding liquid, or visible mold/microbial growth. There may not be a change in color in your sample, but mold or microbial will still be visible if it’s positive.

For Water Detection:

1. Fill 10 ml tube with fuel sample

2. Tighten cap of 10ml vile and shake well

3. Wait 5 – 10 minutes be. For best results peroforn a visual inspection between the 5-10 minute mark

Interpreting the results

You will see particles from the Medium settling on the bottom of the bottle.

PASS: Particles are white.

FAIL: Particles turn pink (dark purple in dyed fuel). This may indicate that your fuel contains water exceeding 500ppm.

There are many test that cannot be done out in the field that require extensive analysis and equipment.  We offer complete test packages for extensive water and microbial analysis and a full spectrum of test meeting ASTM standards
