Vital Signs 
Verify Fuel Specs with ULSDF Testing
Diesel-powered fleets across the country are now dealing with the reality of Ultra-Low Sulfur Diesel Fuel and the EPA's new mandate of less than 15 ppm (parts per million) sulfur, a tremendous drop from the previously required <500 ppm. Testing bulk deliveries and continually monitoring additive formulations verifies fuel specifications and maximizes efficiency and performance.

The Low Down on Cool Down  
Prolong Engine Life, Field Test Coolants at Oil Drain
With over 50% of all engine problems initiated by problems with the cooling system, field testing coolants at oil drain intervals is an integral part of keeping a fleet up and running. The tests are simple, cost effective and are an excellent screening device for detecting problems that may require more advanced laboratory testing and analysis.
