The FUELSTAT® resinae PLUS test measures the amount of
different types of contamination: H Res, bacteria and fungi actively
growing in the sample and reports that as the weight of material in
the sample. This is a newer, more accurate measurement system
than the old Colony Forming Unit (CFU) count.
The test provides results based on a traffic light scenario:
- Negligible (green) – negligible contamination
- Low Positive (amber) – moderate contamination
- High Positive (red) – heavy contamination
The objective of the test is to provide rapid screening of fuel
samples (water in fuel or fuel), giving a quick and accurate
assessment of H Res, bacteria & other fungi including yeasts in
the fuel tank. This test is unlike current growth-based tests, which
require a minimum of 72 hours to provide any results. The test
measures the amount of active growth in the sample and provides
actions and alert levels.
