What prompted the request? Was there something in the fuel filter that was suspect? The only problem I have heard of with diesel fuel is water or dissolved solids that could clog injectors. I would assume they could just draw a sample and have it lab tested. If they have to pump out the old and replace, most companies that do that are dialed in to the EPA regs. Figure that removing old fuel is about 2 to 2.5 times the cost of new (at last check).

Can anyone give me some advice on getting fuel tested?
I have a request from a client to take a sample and have it tested.
What do I test it for?  I suggested having the 10 yr. old supply reclaimed
and replaced but he wants it tested.
Is there protocol or an NFPA recommended procedure?
I have a call into the local diesel mechanics that do the pumps and
generators.
It's on Harvard's campus grounds so I'm sure every EPA regulation and then
some applies.

Thanks in advance,
