Fuel samples will show the amount of water and contaminates in gas, diesel or bio-diesel fuel tanks.
It is imperative to have clean, dry fuel in your tank to eliminate downtime and increase engine performance. But how do you know how bad your fuel really is?

How to Take Fuel Samples to Analyze Bad Fuel
- Take samples by lowering the sampler to the tank bottom. Sample valve will open and sampler will fill with fluid after 5-10 seconds.
- Lift sampler above tank bottom and the valve will close. Fluid will be trapped in sampler.
- After lifting sampler out of the tank; lower it into a sample jar.
- When the bottom valve contacts the jar bottom it will open; draining the fluid into the jar.
Check sample fluid for contaminates:
- Look for clarity and uniform color
- Look for particles of rust and debris
- Look for sludge
- Layers of color may indicate bottom water or phase separation
