Diesel Fuel, Biodiesel and ULSD Testing

Herguth Laboratories’ diesel fuel testing and diesel fuel analysis provides you with the confidence you need to maintain compliance, measure stability, and avoid injector problems. We test to ASTM standards to guarantee repeatability and reproducibility, ensuring industry acceptance. All tests are ISO 9001:2000 certified.

Herguth’s full service approach to diesel fuel analysis provides you with all the resources you need in one location to accurately test both delivered and stored fuels. If you receive a non-compliant test result, our excellent customer service and expert knowledge help you define what actions to take.

Herguth’s team of diesel fuel experts has designed a series of diesel fuel testing packages allowing you to quickly and economically get the information you need.

Diesel Fuel Test Packages

Diesel fuel testing packages are designed for testing at delivery, and during storage periods. At delivery testing allows you to verify the diesel fuel you are receiving is in good condition prior to storage. Testing stored diesel fuel reveals quality information about your fuel, helping you prevent equipment failures due to contaminated fuel before they happen.

Our customers say that they appreciate working with Herguth because we offer complete testing options and exceptional customer service to assist them in obtaining the right samples. We use our expansive knowledge to develop specific diesel and biodiesel testing packages that ensure safety and conformity. 
Tests include:

If you aren’t sure which test, or combination of tests, are best for your needs, call our technical support for expert assistance.

Biodiesel testing
Knowing the percentage of biodiesel to diesel in your fuel mixture gives you the information you need to determine storage requirements and handling. Biodiesel fuels have limited storage ability and degrade in storage quickly. To prevent maintenance issue, it is important to follow your delivery testing with regular diesel fuel analysis of your stored fuels.

Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel (ULSD) fuel testing
Herguth Laboratories’ diesel fuel testing kits are an inexpensive, on-site method to measure sulfur levels in your ULSD fuel. Heavy contamination from high levels of sulfur, or hydroperoxides, poor quality biodiesel, or other chemicals cause compliance issues and equipment damage. If your initial screening shows unusual levels, then Herguth provides further testing and evaluation to identify the cause of your negative test results.
