ASTM
TESTS
If you
would like to Lab test the quality of the Biodiesel you are making, we have
several options available to you below

ASTM Testing Methods
You can rest assured that FuelOnly will test your fuel the right way!
FuelOnly participates in the acclaimed ASTM inter-laboratory cross check
program and only tests fuel following the correct biodiesel testing methods
as defined in the Biodiesel ASTM standard. You'll also get easy-to-read
results with each ASTM test method clearly displayed.
Fuel Testing Is All
FuelOnly Does
FuelOnly does one thing and one thing only. They test fuel. So
you can rely on their results and their customers service.
Easy To Use Kits
Unlike other labs that make you send your fuel in using your own
containers, FuelOnly will actually send you the kit to
use. You'll not only receive a kit but a pre-paid label to send it back
with. The kit is completely standardized and includes easy to follow
directions. You simply sample your fuel, box it up and ship it back to FuelOnly for analysis. Once it gets to the lab it's tracked electronically
and tested automatically to ensure the highest level of testing.
State Of The Art
Equipment
FuelOnly started out with the belief that the test results are only as good
as the equipment it's tested on. With this in mind, they set up one of the
most top-notch, state-of-the-art Biodiesel testing labs in the United
States. All of their equipment is brand new, completely automated and
extremely accurate.
Extremely Fast
Turn-Around Time
FuelOnly has an very fast turn around time! How does 48 hours sound? Not 3
days to 2 weeks like most labs, but 48 hours! In fact, from the time your
sample arrives at their lab most tests will only take a maximum of 48 hours
to get your results back. Unlike other labs that make you wait for your
results to show up in the mail, FuelOnly will actually email your results to
you! How's that for fast?

Biodiesel Testing Packages Available
Free &
Total Glycerin
This is one of the most important tests for Homebrew biodieselers as it
tells you how well your reaction went and how much glycerin was left behind.
If you can pass this, you are likely making high quality fuel, (assuming you
handle, store and maintain the fuel properly).
This
test checks the biodiesel to identify how much glycerin is still left over
in your biodiesel sample. Free glycerin is an indication of how well you're
biodiesel is being washed. Bound glycerin allows you to see how well the
reaction occurred when the biodiesel was produced. The test reports not only
total glycerin amounts but will break out your results into triglycerides, diglycerides, monoglycerides, and free glycerin along with how it compares
to the ASTM standard.
