Fuel failure investigation expertise.
Fuel failure and fuel quality issues occur from trace contaminants and impurities in fuel, among other problems. Fuel failures can arise during the refining and production processes, fuel blending, and from contamination picked up in the fuel supply-chain. Using state-of-the-art fuels testing capabilities, Intertek labs identify the root cause of fuel quality problems and incidents, allowing for rapid understanding and remedial actions to be taken.
