Diesel Fuel Analysis Program
Did you know that fuel affects performance and longevity?
The life of your engine could be cut in half due to contaminated or poor quality fuel. Specific analyses are used to assess the condition of the fuel and determine its impact on the engine and its performance. Our diesel fuel program includes metal analysis, which measures sulfur, the rate of which is regulated by the government.
Diesel Fuel Testing
Diesel fuel analysis is an assessment of the general condition of the fuel. Poor fuel can cause poor combustion, premature fouling, corrosion, and problems with injectors. Our Fluid Lab has the ability to check for fungus and bacteria that can cause fuel filter plugging. If you think oil or coolant are entering your fuel, our investment in the proper equipment can detect these contaminants.
BENEFITS OF DIESEL FUEL ANALYSIS
Increase machine lifespan and resale value
Reduce operating costs
Monitor fuel quality and microbial growth to avoid contamination and leaks

SPECTROSCOPY
Analyze the contaminants, metals and sulphur content (ppm) present in the fuel. Sulphur has a direct effect on SOX and NOX emissions
PARTICLES COUNT
Determines the cleanliness level of the diesel fuel with the ISO Code 4406
WATER BY KARL FISHER
Water by Karl Fisher measures the amount of entrained water (in ppm) in the fuel. In the industry, standards are set to a max of 500ppm
BACTERIA
Bacteria, Fungi and Mold are indications that fuel storage tanks have not been properly maintained. Water can build up at the bottom of storage tanks and create an excellent breeding ground for biological growth.
API GRAVITY
API Gravity is the measure of a diesel fuel’s density, or weight per volume. The higher the API Gravity, the less dense the fuel. API Gravity can provide valuable information about a fuel’s composition and performance characteristics power economy, low temperature properties and smoking tendencies.
THE TOROMONT ADVANTAGE
The Toromont Fluid Analysis Team doesn't just focus on the condition of your oil, we also focus on the condition of your equipment.
OUR PROCESS
At Toromont Fluid Analysis we offer a service customized to your needs. Dealing with us is as easy as you'd like it to be.
ONLINE REPORTING
Maximize equipment life and productivity, while minimizing operating costs and downtime.
OIL ANALYSIS PROGRAM
We monitor your oil with methods developed by Caterpillar and designed to evaluate the condition of your machine components, not just the condition of your oil.
COOLANT ANALYSIS PROGRAM
Cooling system problems contribute to more than 50% of all engine related failures. Diesel engines produce a tremendous amount of power and heat that must be dissipated to keep your engine running properly.
