What is fuel testing?

Fuel testing is the scientific analysis of fuel properties to assess quality, performance, and compliance with established standards. For fuel-dependent industries, this is critical to ensure reliability, efficiency, and operational safety.

Testing methods may include:

• Viscosity measurement
• Flash point determination
• Cetane or octane rating analysis
• Water and sediment testing
• Elemental analysis for contaminants

What fuels do we test?

We provide comprehensive testing for a wide range of fuels and oils, including:

• Diesel (DERV)
• Industrial heating oil (IHO)
• Red diesel
• Kerosene
• Biodiesel
• Lubricants and oils
• And more!

If your fuel or oil isn’t listed please speak to our team as we can often tailor testing to your requirements.
