Background Information
The Fleet Biodiesel Field Test Kits are intended to provide a rapid, easy, and effective method to test Biodiesel fuel and Biodiesel fuel blends (e.g. B5, B20) for basic quality. These tests indicate when a key indicator has reached a level where the fuel itself is very likely to be out-of-spec and requires further testing. The results (good vs. questionable fuel) are modeled on the ASTM D6751 quality standards, but sensitivity and field conditions are not always sufficient to assure either a pass or fail for these quantitative tests.

Disclaimer and Warranty:All Fleet Biodiesel Field Test and Lab Tests are offered only as general indicators of fuel quality. All commercial tests, including analytical tests performed accordance with ASTM protocols, are subject to error due to sampling techniques, unique fuel attributes, and statistical anomalies. Failed tests should be verified by repetition and/or lab testing. Fleet Biodiesel warranties that the test kits provided are based on industry best-practices for fuel testing and current ASTM standards. No other warranties, either expressed or implied, are made regarding the accuracy of the tests or the quality of fuel that is tested.
