The Bug Test kit allows for accurate semi-quantitative analysis of fuels for bacteria and fungus in the field. It replaces standard plate count techniques used in the laboratory. A measured fuel sample is inserted into a sterilized serum bottle. After a set time period a color change is compared with the Bug Test Color chart.   PLEASE CALL FOR QUANTITY DISCOUNTS.

These test kits are for use in the field to determine the amount of free water in excess of 15 ppm in aviation fuels. A sample of fuel is inserted into a test tube containing powder, which is color indicating in the presence of water. A color chart is provided to determine water ppm.

Water can occur in jet fuel in three forms, dissolved (chemically in solution in the jet fuel), settled (as in free water at the bottom of the tank), or as finely dispersed undissolved water held in suspension. The Shell Water Detector is designed to detect undissolved water; it has been proven reliably for 30 years. This is water that a filter separator can remove, and is usually invisible to the eye in quantities below 40-60 ppm.
