Fuel Analysis

Martin Energy Services offers specific fuel testing for generators to identify the main culprits that can disable your back up power supply. Generator fuel often sits stagnant for months or even years, only to be used for short times during maintenance tests. During this time if not properly treated the fuel can lose thermal stability, grow fungus and algae and begin to lose cetane. Any of these can shut down your generator when you need it most. Tests for water, algae, fungus, thermal stability and cetane are necessary for you to understand the condition of your fuel.

Fuel analysis can also identify potential causes for fuel filter plugging, smoking, loss of power, poor injector performance, malfunctioning throttle position sensors and sticking valves. Testing also confirms a diesel fuel’s sulfur content, biodiesel content and compliance with manufacturer specifications and standards for cleanliness that could affect equipment warranty requirements.

While Martin Energy Services offers multiple fuel testing packages, we can customize a package to accommodate you specific requirements.
