FUELSTAT® is an immunoassay antibody fuel test kit for microbe detection. It can be used wherever Fuel is manufactured, stored, sold or used.
Unlike traditional tests, FUELSTAT® only finds micro-organisms that do damage to fuel.
With FUELSTAT®, tests take as little as 15 minutes, unlike current growth-based tests that need at least 72 hours. With easy-to-understand alert levels, you instantly know whether you need to take further action.
The process is self-contained, requiring no additional equipment—just a single FUELSTAT® fuel testing kit for each test. It’s so easy to use, that a single individual can carry out the tests with only minimal training.
Microbial contamination, in particular, is almost always present in fuels to some degree. Left unchecked for too long, it can do serious harm to engines and tanks, and even cause leaks and environmental damage. Diesel “bug” microbial contamination creates a slime called a biofilm or biomass that can induce several issues. If left for a prolonged period of time without treatment, it can cause:
- Blocked filters
- Increased injector wear
- Increased fuel consumption
- Fuel starvation
- Less efficient engine operation
- Engine failures
- Corrosion and tank leakage
Jet fuel microbial contamination can be extremely
costly to aviation businesses. Identify and deal with the issue at earliest possible stage.
