Test Kit Shows You If There's Water In Your Diesel Fuel
Dieselcraft Engineering (www.dieselcraft.com; ph 530 613-2150): The company recently came up with a new test kit that shows you if there’s water in your diesel fuel. The kit consists of a capsule filled with yellow powder, a test tube, and a transfer pipette that’s used to take fuel samples right out of your vehicle’s fuel pump. As the powder settles in the test tube, you can see that it’s indicating water by a change in color to pink.
    If there’s no water in the fuel the powder at the bottom of the tube will remain yellow. Any pink spots in the water means there are 500 to 1,000 ppm of water in the fuel. If there’s more than 1,000 ppm of water in the fuel it will turn all the powder hot pink. Test kit sells for $44.95.
    The company says adding its Technol 403 diesel fuel conditioner to your fuel can solve the water problem. Technol 403 is designed to raise Cetane, improve fuel lubricity, increase fuel combustibility, and clean the fuel system. It’s sold in 8-oz. and 1-gal. containers. An 8-oz. bottle is enough for 62 gal. of diesel fuel. It’s sold in case quantities only. A case of twelve 8-oz. bottles sells for $160 plus $10 S&H. It’s also available in 1-gal. size bottles that each treat 1,000 gal.
