Model FD – 1 - Water & Fuel Quality Tests

FD – 1 testing steps: fuel quality + water in fuel tests

Fill the supplied 120 ml / 4-ounce test bottle with your fuel sample, pour detection agent powder into the test bottle, screw cap on bottle and shake for 30 seconds, allow bottle to rest for at least 5 minutes and view the sample images 1, 2, 3 and 4 below to determine your testing results.

Part A: haze quality test

Pass, images 1 & 2: You should be able to view in some way the haze rating test indicator bars.

Fail, image 3: If you cannot view the bar indicators your sample has failed the visual clarity haze test.

Part B: water in fuel test

Fail, image 4: The detection powder will indicate any water present in your sample, thus turning the water into a pink, red or purple color spot for easy identification. Depending on contamination levels, water will be detected @ 200 PPM (parts per million) and higher. Best if viewed from the bottom of test bottle like in image 4 below. No spots indicate your sample is safe from unacceptable amounts of water contamination – less than 200 PPM water content.

NB: if you are testing a dyed fuel for better identification inspect the bottom of the bottle close to a light source or use a flashlight for better viewing.
