🔹 What the Report Tells You
Your diesel fuel analysis report gives a full breakdown of fuel quality, contamination, and suitability for use.
🧪 Fuel Condition & Appearance
- Appearance (Clear & Bright) – Indicates overall fuel quality
- Colour & Shade – Confirms correct fuel type and condition
- Particulate Presence – Identifies visible contamination
These checks quickly show whether the fuel is visually clean and usable.
💧 Water Content (Critical for Diesel)
- Water (ppm and %) – Detects moisture contamination
- Free Water Detection – Identifies presence of water separation
Water is one of the biggest risks in diesel systems, leading to corrosion, injector damage, and microbial growth.
🔬 Cleanliness & Particles
- ISO Cleanliness Code (e.g. 19/16/13) – Measures fuel cleanliness
- Particle Counts (µm levels) – Identifies contamination size and severity
This highlights how clean your fuel is—and whether filtration is required.
⚠️ Contamination & Fuel Quality
- Silicon – Indicates dirt ingress
- Bacteria / Fungal Growth – Early warning of diesel bug contamination
- FAME (Biodiesel Content) – Confirms fuel composition
- Sulphur Levels – Identifies fuel grade (e.g. ULSD vs higher sulphur fuels)
These tests help identify contamination sources and fuel degradation risks.
⚙️ Wear Metals (System Impact)
- Metals such as Iron, Copper, Lead
- Indicates potential wear within pumps or fuel system components
Even in fuel systems, metal presence can highlight developing issues.
🚦 Simple Traffic Light Summary
Each report includes an easy-to-understand condition rating:
- A (Green): Fuel is fit for use
- B (Amber): Monitor condition
